Fairy Lake Dock #Acton

Dear Fairy Lake

NM — Fri, 15 Sep 2017 20:44:11 +0000

It’s been a wonderful 2017 paddling season. Thank you for graciously allowing us to paddle your calm waters, sharing our passion for the water, and developing new relationships.

September 16th and Sept 17th, will be our last weekend at Fairy Lake during the 2017 Acton Fall Fair. We are excited to see the ground break for the new wheelchair accessible dock that will hopefully be ready (fingers crossed) for the 2018 season.

Please join us at the Paddle House! See you on the water.

“Get the camera!!” I heard from residents of Acton on the opening day of our second location. What a day after the several months organizing the new project with the help of the Dufferin Rural Community Centre, and the Agricultural Society. We are very excited to offer this new program at Prospect Park to the Town of Halton Hills.

“We’re pleased to have this service offered to local residents” said Mayor Rick Bonnette. “Canoeing on Fairy Lake offers families a great opportunity to learn more about nature while enjoying this amazing resource and being active.”

Visit the Town of Halton Hills- for the official Media release.

We will be reporting back to the town at the end of season and hope that this paddling season will bring lots of great memories for everyone. It is our hope the townspeople will enjoy this new safe fun family program that all kids will enjoy!

We have visitors from all over the provinces and the United States come and visit us at the Acton facility. With that a lot of people ask where can they go for their first paddle, and we always direct them to Fairy Lake, a five minute drive from the shop. For an Halton Hills visitors guide click here.
