BOAT RENTALS
Canoes, Kayaks, and Pedal Boats are available for rent at Echo Lake. Pedal boats are $25 / hour. Canoes & Kayaks are $20 / hour. Due to new sanitizing protocols, each boat and all life jackets (pfd's) will need to be sanitized after use. Because of a limited supply of PFD's, boat rentals may need to be suspended during the day, once all PFD's have been used. When boats are sold out, we can rent them to anyone who brings their own (USCG approved) PFD.

LAKESIDE GENERAL STORE
The Lakeside General Store will have firewood, ice, drinks, ice cream, snacks and some beach gear available from the outside window only. Guests will not have access inside the store.

NO PETS
Pets are prohibited from Echo Lake Beach, Cannon RV Park, Lafayette Campground, on the Tram and in the Flume Gorge. Pets are only permitted in Franconia Notch State Park in the designated dog walks in the Flume & Tramway parking lots.

TRASH
