Floating along the River

Copeland Boat Houses 11x14

An iconic part of living on the west coast of Wisconsin are the boathouses on the Black River by Copeland Park.




Not to be confused with houseboats.
They don't actually house boats, but afford those lucky few with a getaway right on the water.

These unique floating cabins are what's left of family havens on the river. Those that remain are grandfathered in and many are slowly disappearing.




During the summer you see large family groups gathered, cooking out and splashing around or fishing from their tiny platforms. Looks like a lot of fun on a hot day.

As they say here in La Crosse, Summer on the River and Some are Not.






So it's time for us to go a float with a cruise. Will return blogging with lots of drawings from my upcoming adventure. Bon Voyage.
