Get ready to make a splash this summer with Carroll County's pedal boat offerings. If you're looking to casually cruise around the tranquil waters, you'll be pleased to know that pedal boat operations are set to continue through June 19, offering residents and visitors alike a chance to enjoy the outdoors from the unique vantage point of the water.

According to the official Carroll County website, the pedal boats will be available for rent on select days at times specifically tailored to accommodate both the early risers and those who prefer to bask in the afternoon sun. If you are planning to glide across the water, make sure to arrive before 4:15 p.m., as that is when the last boat will be allowed to leave shore. The full schedule has been posted online, with service mostly spanning from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. but also includes afternoon-only hours.

The schedule kicks off for the Memorial Day weekend, from May 25-27, and May 31, when boats will be available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The following weekend, June 1st-2nd, follows suit with the same hours of operation, guaranteeing leisure time is readily at hand for those much-deserved days of rest.

For those who wish to visit after typical business hours, the county has set aside specialized days such as June 3, 7, and 12, with pedal boats to be rented out beginning at noon. Operating hours are thus slightly reduced, but the opportunity to take to the water remains a therapeutic option during the workweek's hustle. The concluding days of the pedal boat service, namely June 14-16 and the last day on June 19, will once again offer full-day rentals for any last-minute escapades.

Interested parties are encouraged to view the detailed schedule and additional information at the county’s announcement page, found at Carroll County's official website. Here, families and friends can plan their visit, ensuring they don't miss the opportunity to set sail on the county's peaceful waters before the boats are docked for a season.
