Are you looking for an activity to keep the whole family happy for the day? A great way to enjoy the Highway 4 corridor is to visit some of our beautiful mountain lakes and paddle around in a kayak or canoe for the afternoon. If you’re a fisherman, there’s no better way to “sneak up on ‘em” than in a roomy one person kayak. If you’re a nature lover, load your camera gear into a pedal kayak where you can pedal around, hands free to take photos. You can even Sail the pedal kayaks if you really want to have some fun! A tandem kayak offers the opportunity to take your spouse out for a romantic tour of one of our beautiful high alpine, granite basin lakes. Got kids? Take a 16 ft. canoe, put lifejackets on the little adventurers, load ‘em up and show them a fun-filled water world. That’ll wear them out! There are endless options to the kind of fun you can have on a lake. If you never tried Stand-Up Paddle Boarding, this might be the summer to give it a shot. From day trips to overnight camping, kayaking and canoeing opens up miles of shoreline for you to explore.
