Kayak and Canoe Wildlife Excursion
July 4 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
- Join us for a kayak and canoe program designed to teach basic paddling skills, water safety, and confidence on the water while exploring the natural beauty of the lake. Participants will learn how to safely enter and exit a boat, hold and use a paddle, steer, stop, and move efficiently though the water.
- As we paddle, we’ll enjoy a guided wildlife excursion and look for birds, turtles, fish, and other animals that depend on healthy lake and shoreline habitats. This program is a great way to build outdoor skills, practice safe boating habits and experience the park from a new perspective.
