There are more than eight miles of waterway between Carleton Place and Innisville. There are several launch points available where you can access the lake. Whether your choice of vessel is a motor launch, pontoon boat, personal watercraft, sail craft, canoe or kayak, the Mississippi means fun on the water for every marine taste.
Just remember to take with you all of the essentials for a fun, safe day on the water:
- A Pleasure Craft Operator's License (Required for the operator of all motorized vessels)
- Personal Flotation Device (PFD) for the operator and each passenger (preferably worn)
- Prescribed emergency equipment
All of the above are described in the Transport Canada Safe Boating Guide
