“Make a Splash” at WaterFest 2016. This free, family festival celebrating our clean lakes offers fun and an opportunity for outdoor hands-on learning about clean water, wildlife, and land and water conservation. Start the day with a Voyageur canoe, paddleboat, canoe, kayak or a solar pontoon boat ride, learn to fish or participate in a fishing contest. 

For landlubbers, the fun continues with water games, a water arcade, geocaching, climbing walls, jump castle, native plant giveaway, passport odyssey, live animals and a special K-9 unit, landscaping, watershed and art exhibits, music, lakeside yoga, food for purchase and lots more! 

WaterFest is sponsored by the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District, the cities of Saint Paul, Maplewood, Roseville, Little Canada, Oakdale, Shoreview, North St. Paul and White Bear Lake, Ramsey County, Barr Engineering and other partners.
