Those looking to take a cool dip in Bosco Lake can do so during open swim. Swimmers can take advantage of jumping off of the floating dock and hop on our floating trampoline in the Swimmer's Area. For the beginners, we have a water slide and a water log which can be used during the Lumberjack Festival. Even the non-swimmers can have fun playing basketball in their respective area.

If your looking for an opportunity to go boating, you can do so during open boating or while taking any boating related merit badge. We have canoes, kayaks, paddleboats, rowboats, and sailboats (only those who have completed the sailboating merit badge may take a sailboat out on the lake during open boating).
