Madison Parks has installed a new floating pier at the School Road boat landing. Unlike the previous fixed pier, which flooded in times of high water, the new pier rises and falls with the water level. City crews will remove the pier each year at the end of the season and set it back out after the ice melts.

Public canoe and kayak storage racks have also been installed at the landing. The rental cost is $110 per year for Madison residents. 

If you want to bring your stored paddle craft with you on a winter vacation, be aware that the road to the boat landing is gated and unplowed in the off season.
