We had a great time at last week's Science Thursday with our partners at the Clean Lakes Alliance! Thank you, Mike and Paul, for sharing your time and knowledge with us.

We would like to invite everyone to join us for the Finale of the 2026 return of Science Thursdays! We are partnering with the Friends of Lake Wingra to learn more about lake life. Bring the whole family to Wingra Boats tonight at 5pm to learn more about the beautiful Lake Wingra!

Additionally, look ahead and check out our Back-to-School Hours in September! Please note we have reduced hours from Sept. 2 through Sept. 4 with normal operations for Labor day Weekend!

Our friends at Brittingham Boats will be open with normal hours for all your paddling needs the first week of September!

Come by this morning to see the Wingra Crew! We will be closed this afternoon, last boats at 3pm, for our annual Staff Outing. Our crew works so hard all summer long creating lasting memories for our community. Before they go back to school, they’ve earned a day to play!
