Paddling into the great outdoors

Do you enjoy watching birds and wildlife, exploring places with no vehicle access, and enjoying nature in the wild.

 A fun way to follow these activities is by paddling—either a kayak or canoe—into places only available by boat and with a quietness that doesn’t frighten wildlife.

New lightweight kayaks can be carried on top of your dinghy and launched anywhere you can get close to water—rivers, bays, or lakes. You can learn to paddle with a few basic instructions and paddling is a good upper body exercise. Visit a kayak retailer or outfitter for more information.
