Model Boats on the Lake

If you are looking for a quiet way to spend a Saturday in mid-May, there is an interesting activity happening over at Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens. On May 16, 2026, the Schooner Radio Control Group will be bringing their collection of model boats to the water. It is a straightforward setup where the group will be operating their radio-controlled vessels across the lakes, giving visitors a chance to see the models in motion.

Since this is taking place at Leonardslee, it is worth keeping in mind that the venue itself requires an entry ticket, which covers access to the grounds and the gardens. It is the kind of event that tends to attract both dedicated model enthusiasts and families who just happen to be visiting the gardens for a walk. There is no complex schedule to follow; it is simply an opportunity to watch the Schooner Radio Control Group navigate their boats throughout the day. If you enjoy seeing technical hobbies in a natural setting, it might be worth planning your visit to the gardens around this date.
