In northeast Douglas County, at Rueter-Hess Reservoir, with a fee and some restrictions you can paddle your mornings away. Rueter-Hess Reservoir is described by South Suburban Parks and Recreation as a “big open space, both quiet and safe, to float your stand-up paddleboard, kayak or canoe.”

Paddle Days are set aside for these watercraft only. Advanced reservations are required. No walk-ups. Happening Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays Only.
Now through Sept. 4, boaters will need to register and pay $15 to go through the gate and enjoy the water from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Registration is currently open for June weekends, while spots for July, August, and September will open one week before the first of the month.
