Relax and enjoy a pontoon boat ride while learning about the natural and cultural history of Lake Koshkonong and its wetlands. These wetlands provide important wildlife habitat along the Rock River corridor, but their health and continued existence are affected by a number of threats including operation of the Indianford dam to potentially raise lake water levels, nutrient inputs from the watershed, and introduction of the common carp. Lake Koshkonong Wetland Association works on these and other management issues to ensure protection of the ecological values of these wetlands. Because of boat capacities, we are limited to 20 participants and registration is required. Call 608-250-9971 soon to reserve your spot.

Wear or bring sun protection (hats, sunglasses, long-sleeved shirts, sunscreen, etc.) and bring rain gear in case of light showers and/or spray from the boat. Trip will be cancelled in case of heavy rain or other hazardous weather.

Directions:
We will board the pontoon boats from Linn and Ann Duesterbeck's property at N630 Blackhawk Bluff Dr. in Milton. From I-90, take Hwy 59 southeast to County N and turn left (east). Take N to Vogel Rd, and turn left (north). Vogel Rd becomes Pottawatomi Trail and then later turns into Blackhawk Bluff Dr.
