We made it, Minnesota! Spring is here! 🌷

And with it comes more time to spend at Dock & Paddle. Starting April 13, we’ll be open DAILY from 11am–7pm, making it easier than ever to stop in, slow down, and enjoy a little time by the lake while you watch spring turn into summer.
Whether you’re grabbing a coffee, meeting up with friends, or just looking for a relaxing place to unwind, we’re here for it!

We’re also getting excited for what’s ahead… the 125th season of music at Como Lakeside Pavilion, featuring 125 performances throughout the summer. It’s shaping up to be something special, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
