What You'll See
As of 2023, Airboat's run consists of a departing location from Guldlin Park's Public Access Ramp and the tour will be finished at Foster Park.
Guldlin Park can be found at Van Buren Street and Michaels Avenue. It is located along the St. Mary's River. Guldlin Park housed the first fort in 1722, Fort Miamis. It was also the location of Fort Wayne's first playground. To learn more about Guldlin Park, visit fortwayneparks.org.
Foster Park is located at 3900 Old Mill Road. It was donated to Fort Wayne in 1912 and was expanded multiple times. The park includes pavilions, a golf, tennis, and pickleball court, playgrounds, and more! To learn more about Foster Park, click here.
With an Airboat ride, you'll cruise through the beautiful St. Mary's River, which stretches from Ohio to Indiana and leads to the St. Joseph and Maumee Rivers.
