    Footwear is important. Muddy trail at times, so caution is needed. Kayak experience is helpful, but no necessary. Kman was our guide, he was great.

  • fun and a little challenging

    If you have never kayaked before there is a bit of a learning curve and can be challenging to master. Think leverage not depth when turning. The further out the paddle is from the boat the more you turn. Paddling close to the boat keeps it straighter. Our guise was awesome and I would recommend giving it a try.
