We all love spending time at the lake during hot summer days. Kayaking and canoeing are both great ways to enjoy the water while camping. Here are some tips for kayaking and canoeing:
- Choose a campsite near water: Look for a campsite near a lake, river, or other body of water suitable for your activities. Camp Lakewood Campground is situated on Lake Pauline which is great for kayaking or canoeing.
- Rent your equipment: If you don’t have your own kayak or canoe, consider renting one from the campground. At our campground, we offer both kayak and canoe rentals.
- Check local regulations: Some areas may have restrictions on kayaking or canoeing or require permits. Be sure to check local regulations before hitting the water.
- Bring necessary equipment: Bring all necessary equipment, including a PFD, paddles, and other safety equipment. You may also want to bring a dry bag to keep your personal items safe and dry. Many of these items are available in our store. Check with us before you head out on the water!
- Prepare: Check the area you will be kayaking in before doing so and understand the area. No one wants to get lost on their adventure!
- Respect wildlife and the environment: Be respectful of the wildlife and environment around you. Avoid disturbing wildlife and follow Leave No Trace principles to minimize environmental impact.
Enjoy your time on the water! We look forward to seeing you all at Camp Lakewood Campground this summer!
