Row a St. Lawrence Skiff
Those seeking a more tranquil experience on the water can take a quiet row in a traditional St. Lawrence
Skiff on the protected waters of French Creek Bay. From June 27-August 30 (limited availability in June & late August, call ahead), attendants are on hand 12PM-4PM on weekdays, and 10AM-4PM on weekends in the Skiff Livery to help you get on the water. Use of the skiffs is included with Museum admission, but donations to help with the upkeep of the boats are gratefully accepted.
Our skiffs vary in size, but 1-3 people is a comfortable crew for one boat.
