Annual membership payments are due by March 1 of each year. Membership fees for new members joining throughout the year will be prorated to the nearest month.

Any member may reserve and row one of the Boathouse’s boats (subject to prior certification) by using our web-based reservation system. Experienced rowers may row year round, but please know your skill level and limitations, and exercise good judgment.

Rowing lessons can be scheduled at your convenience. Please see the Rowing lessons section of this website.

Boat storage for privately owned craft is available. Please see the Kayaks and canoes section of this website.
