Just a reminder that if you are attending our upcoming Moonlight Paddle on Saturday August 29th, registration is required.

Yes, you can paddle almost any lake at nighttime, but what makes Fellows Lake Paddle different is there are no motorboats allowed, which means a safe and relaxing atmosphere. Don't forget to dress up the paddle craft you bring with as many lights as you want.
If you forget your lights, we will have Fairy Lights for sale at the store. $5.00 each.

The Springfield Astronautical Society will be out here star gazing and will be open to the public. While that is free to attend you still must register online.
This is so we know who is in the park and for the safety of all of our participants.

Please call the Fellows Lake Store with any questions or concerns.

ATTENTION:
Due to the extremely high temperatures over this weekend, the Fellows Lake Marina Store will not be doing any paddle craft rentals in the afternoons until Monday. But we will be renting our Motorized Boats, so you can still try and get your fishing on!

If you are coming out to play at the Hatch Playground or hiking and biking, don't forget we have a variety of snacks, ice cream and cold beverages in our store as well as air conditioning. Feel free to come take a break and hang out with our Fellows Lake crew for as long as you need to.
