More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a low wooden dock into water so clear you can count fish scales beneath the hull. The city skyline hovers to the south, but on the lake the world narrows to paddles, a guide in a neon-green EPIC GUIDE shirt, and the steady wake that moves you across a spring-fed basin.

History
Ivanhoe’s lakeshore transitioned from industrial edges to a pedestrian-focused village; this shift created easier public access to the waterfront and local dining scenes.
Conservation
Stay on designated launch areas, avoid feeding wildlife, and carry out all trash—urban lakes are sensitive to runoff and nutrient loading that affect water clarity.
