Photos of Historic Launch Boats

used for over 50 years to transport thousands of canoeists through the scenic Chain O' Lakes to the Mouth of the Famous Crystal River in Waupaca, Wisconsin.

Here are 4 of the 6 Ding's Dock Launch Boats.

This is a large group of canoeist getting ready to depart Ding's Dock. 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.

This is the blue launch just departing Ding's Dock.

And this is the blue launch heading across Columbia Lake.

This is a fun filled trip you won't forget!
