TENNEY PARK LOCK PERMIT REQUIRED - 2004
This information is taken directly from the Dane County Parks Department Press Release.
Starting Friday, April 30, when the the locks open for the year, a new Locks Permit will be required for all watercraft using the Tenney Park Locks. The Tenney Park Locks allows for the travel of boats and other watercraft between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona by way of the Yahara River. Lake Mendota' s normal water level is about five feet higher than Lake Monona.
Boaters will have the option to purchase a Daily Permit for $5.00 or the Annual Permit for $20.00. The new Locks Permit will provide funds to help offset the cost for hiring seasonal locks operators. Permits and additional information are available at the locks or through the Dane County Parks Office, 4318 Robertson Rd, Madison WI 53714, Phone (608) 246-3896.
Due to congestion above the locks a Locks Permit will not be required to travel down from Lake Mendota to Lake Monona. A Lock Permit will be required for all watercraft to travel up river from Lake Monona to Lake Mendota. Self-Registration Station and restroom facilities are located below the locks to purchase a Daily Pass for $5.00 or the Annual Pass for $20.00. Permits are also available at Parks Office, 4318 Robertson Rd. WI Madison 53714. |
LAKE LEVEL INFORMATION
Using data provided by USGS, we can monitor current lake levels on Mendota, Monona and Waubesa. The next step is to tie these levels to local features like bridge clearance, water deapth at the river entrance, etc. Stay tuned!

- Information about our lakes
