A Ledyard membership entitles the holder to the following:
- One canoe or two kayaks free for one full business day. (Family memberships include 2 canoes or 4 kayaks).
- One Stand-Up Paddleboard free for up to 2 hours. (Family memberships include 2 SUPs for 2 hours).
- 1-night free overnight rental of canoe / kayak. See note below for details.
Notes for Members: Life jackets are available to members and are required by law to be with the boat. All boats must still be returned during our normal business hours; there will be a charge associated with returning boats after closing. If taking a boat overnight, members must alert the deskworker at time of rental. Boats may not be left at the dock unattended. Please make arrangements to return the canoe the next day when the business is open.
A Ledyard membership is a great way to save money on rentals if you plan to be a frequent renter! You can purchase a membership at the club during normal business hours (click here for directions), or you can visit Kathleen Decato in the OPO business office in Robinson Hall. One-year memberships expire exactly one calendar year from the date of purchase; student career memberships expire the day of a student's graduation from Dartmouth.
