The Beautiful Chain O' Lakes in Waupaca, WI

has 22 crystal clear glacial lakes, known as the Kilarnies of Wisconsin. See the many islands, points, bays, under water reefs, and pine bluffs.

Here is a shot of a historic Ding's Dock Launch Boat transporting a string of canoes and canoeists through Long Lake to the Mouth of the The Famous Crystal River. These boats have been used for over 50 years to transport thousands of canoeists to the the Mouth of the Famous Crystal River Canoe Trip.

This photo of Columbia Lake was taken from one of the beautiful whispering pine bluffs surrounding these majestic lakes.

This is Emmons Creek flowing in to Long Lake.

Here is a Ding's Dock Launch Boat at the South End of Long Lake

dropping off a group of eager canoeists at the Mouth of

the Famous Crystal River.

You will receive a free boat trip through 2 scenic lakes of the chain from Ding's Dock when taking the Famous Crystal River Canoe Trip.

One very unique feature of the Ding's Dock Crystal River Canoe Trip is the free boat ride through two scenic glacial lakes at the start of the trip. Most canoe trips in the United States don't include a free boat ride through two scenic lakes.

If you want to spend a day or week on the Chain O'Lakes with your family and friends, you can rent a pontoon boat, rowboat, motorboat, or aluminum canoe from Ding's Dock.
