I give high marks to Brock and Michelle, the owners, for always being on-hand and available should you need anything! I think we ran into Brock every day we were there. The cabin, pontoon, and grounds were very clean. There was a nice picnic area where we could all meet up for dinner, drinks and a bonfire. We had a great time and will be back next year.

The water was fairly shallow and easy to navigate. It took us maybe 2.5 hours for our kayak trip with beautiful scenery. We saw deer, 2 fawns with spots and a doe. We saw two bald eagles and 1 golden eagle, blue herons, turtles, kingfisher, turkey vulture etc. The parking is free; there is a bathroom where you put in. You need to sign waivers before going. They offer PFDs to everyone; under 18 must wear PFD.

We love the town of Cannon Falls. We decided to plan a Kayak trip with some family and give this…read moreplace a try. This area is beautiful and we saw many Bald Eagles as we strolled down the Cannon River. I don't think this was too expensive and it was a lot of fun. We had not been kayaking before and my wife was clueless. I had used canoes when I was a kid and had been up to the Boundary Waters, I felt okay. We told the people that it was our first time and without much of any instruction, they put her in the kayak and away she went. I felt like they could have done anything to make her more comfortable. The rental area is a shack, basically. They put you in kayaks and then pick you up in an hour from departure at the pick up point. Look for the large pink rock, that is where you exit the river to be picked up. We had the last time slot with several people overturning and having to empty their kayak, not me, I stayed dry. The people that had to drain their kayak wasted a lot of time and we were late to our pick-up at the end of the day when you know they wanted to go home and start their weekend. I felt bad but it wasn't my fault. This was a fun time. I would recommend that you have some experienced people to help you if you are new at this. The people running this place are not interested in spending time teaching you how to stay dry. That is up to you.

Chris was on time and put us on fish. He had a nice, comfortable boat and all the latest equipment…read more He stayed out longer than he needed to and we were able to bring some walleye home. He's a fun guy to spend some time with in a boat and knows the lake well.

Went out on a Friday afternoon for a half day trip on Lake Wissota. Our guide said his boat was…read moredamaged and had borrowed a friends boat that had been left out in the rain for quite awhile, so the seats and carpets were moldy and it was filled dead leaves. The guy honestly almost flipped the boat on the way out, he was going well over 60 and the water was choppy and the boat was bouncing too high and the wind was catching the bottom and tossing us around, we were soaking wet before we even crossed the lake. We have been out with guides many times before and never felt the slightest bit nervous in a boat or had to worry about where the life jackets were. He took us to our first spot to fish for walleye, but the trolling motor didn't work so we drifted around a lot and couldn't stay on the fish. Actually we never really got put on the fish. He also didn't have the right bait for walleyes, we had small crappie minnows. Then we went to the second spot, we drifted in that area for about two hours without much luck so he took us back to the first spot we fished which didn't improve since our first visit. Then on the way back he almost flipped the boat again. All for the low price of $175. I would not recommend this yahoo for anything.

The park does have a nice overlook down to the river and you can walk the path down to the beaches at the river level. If you have a boat you can tie-up here though I don't know it you can camp overnight in your boat. The park did not appear to have a campground though it did have a number of hiking trails. No surprise that this time of year also attracts lots of mosquitoes! Overall an OK state park.

Each room has a closet, fireplace, tv, dvd player, and bathroom. All doors lock with your room key for privacy and security. Every morning there is breakfast prepared; muffins and cinnamon rolls, english muffins, fruit, juice, coffee, tea, etc. It has a full kitchen. The lodge is off the river and only blocks from downtown. It allows everything (or a lot at least) to be within walking distance. I highly recommend this place for a place to stay. Much better than a hotel with a great amount of character. When you set up reservations make sure to ask about payment. It was cash only so clarify upon reservation.
