Yes. The cottage has a private dock on Sawyer Harbor with four kayaks and a canoe, paddles and life jackets, typically available May through October. The public boat launch is about a minute down the road.

2026 note: harbor water levels are lower than in previous years, so some days launching from the dock takes extra effort and the shallows can be mucky. Ask us about current conditions.
