Delavan: Lake Activities and Dancing Horses Theatre

With Delavan Lake, Delavan offers a destination to suit different interests on the water: visitors can go boating, sailing, kayaking and canoeing, or swimming. There are also specific places to visit, such as Community Park, and a special show experience at the Dancing Horses Theatre. This gives you the chance to consider whether you’d like your stay to focus more on time on the water, fishing or enjoying a show together.

Delavan Lake: Enjoy the water in different ways

Delavan Lake covers 2,072 acres. On the lake, options range from boating and sailing to kayaking and canoeing; swimming is also among the possible activities. The different ways to spend time on the water give your trip a clear focus without requiring you to commit to just one activity. If you enjoy being out on the water yourself, you can consider the boating and paddling options mentioned here. If you’d rather swim, that’s also one of the lake activities described.

Community Park has a boat launch and a public swimming area. These are two specific features of the park: a launch and an area for swimming. When considering Delavan Lake and Community Park, you can distinguish between the general activities available on the lake and the amenities specifically associated with the park. You can choose a vacation rental in Delavan to suit the destination experiences that interest you most.

Fishing with a long list of target species

Delavan Lake also offers a range of options for anglers. The species listed are bluegill, largemouth bass, muskellunge, northern pike, smallmouth bass, walleye and yellow perch. The complete list is helpful if particular fish species catch your interest: you can plan your trip around whether you’d most like to fish for one of the listed species or consider several of them. The names also make clear that fishing is a reason to stay by the lake in its own right, alongside sailing, paddling and swimming.

A show with “Dancing Waters” as its finale

Away from the water activities, the Dancing Horses Theatre offers a show suitable for all ages. Its finale is “Dancing Waters”: hundreds of water fountains are choreographed to music. The finale combines water and music in a stage performance, setting it apart from activities where visitors go boating, paddling or swimming themselves. For families looking to enjoy a show together, its suitability for all ages is a useful point of reference. This means you can plan a stay in Delavan around more than just lake activities.

These interests give you a basis for considering Delavan as a destination without limiting your trip to just one activity.
