4. 4.Arrive 15-20 minutes early to secure parking and good seats,the tour leaves promptly at scheduled times
5. 5.Bring a light jacket even in summer as it can be breezy and cooler on the water

Weekday mornings in late spring (May-June) or early fall (September) offer the best experience with smaller crowds, comfortable temperatures, and vibrant scenery. Avoid peak summer afternoons when boats fill quickly and temperatures soar.

Tours typically run from late April through October, weather permitting. Tickets can be purchased at the dock or online in advance (recommended during summer weekends). The boarding area is accessible, though notify staff in advance if you need special assistance.

Tours operate seasonally from late April through late October, weather dependent. Peak season is June through August with the most frequent departure times. Spring and fall offer beautiful foliage but more limited schedules. Book ahead for holiday weekends and peak summer weeks.

Paul Bunyan's Cook Shanty (all-you-can-eat lumberjack-themed meals kids love) and Moosejaw Pizza & Dells Brewing Co. (casual atmosphere with pizza and burgers) are both within walking distance on Broadway.
