Canoe/Kayak Storage Rack

If you're looking for an easy way to enjoy Chanhassen's beautiful lakes, there are canoe/kayak racks available for rent at Lake Ann Park and Carver Beach Park on Lotus Lake.  Canoes/kayaks may be placed on the rack after the lottery in April and must be removed by October 31 (depending on ice conditions).

*Note: all watercraft must be registered with the State of Minnesota if required by state law.

All watercraft racks are assigned  to Chanhassen residents on a lottery basis.  The lottery will be held Wednesday, April 7 for the 2021 season.  Beginning April 8, non-Chanhassen residents may apply and will be considered depending on availability.
