One of our adventurous young residents took advantage of the new accessible dock at Zink Lake last night. This new addition ensures that everyone can enjoy the lake’s scenic waters and all it has to offer. This best-in-class adaptive kayak launch helps increase dignity and freedom for individuals with mobility issues, while increasing accessibility and participation in water sports for adaptive paddlers.
Ready to take the plunge? You can use your own kayak or paddle board or rentals are available from 10 a.m. until sunset everyday!
Join the City Design Studio and the Sustainability Alliance to help create a sustainable vision for Zink Lake!

Photos by @pingjhawk: Riders try out the new whitewater flume on the Arkansas River on Thursday as the city continues to prepare for the opening of Zink Lake. Work is underway to test operations and fine tune the wave-shapers in the new 1,050-foot-long recreational flume on the east bank of the Arkansas River just south of the reconstructed Zink Dam and the new Williams Crossing pedestrian bridge. The lake, flume and pedestrian bridge remain closed to the public but will open Labor Day weekend with the Big Dam Party, a four-day celebration. Read more here: https://t.co/78yd5vXwkE
