Many people don’t think about paddling until Memorial Day, but April and early May is actually a great time to get out on the water. Wildlife is abundant, the light is magnified, and the bugs aren’t out yet.

“The water is cold,” true enough, but if you dress warmly and paddle, you’re sure to stay warm — and a guide will be there to keep you safe.

Beginning paddlers can choose to paddle in a canoe with Leslie, one of our two guides. Leslie will coach you on safety and paddling technique — and help you get the most out of your time on the water.
