Beautiful large lake with a well defined walking trail and exercise stops along the way. Also seemed to be some sort of nature hut there that has info about local wildlife and such

Great playground, wonderful trail around the lake, and the restrooms were decent. Enjoyed the views and the bald eagle sighting!

No, you can rent them at the boathouse, but no private craft are allowed. Private water crafts, including boats and paddle-boards, are not allowed on Waneka Lake in order to prevent the introduction or spread of aquatic nuisance species.
