Highlights
Outing Highlights
Solo paddling across Spring Lake
The SUP is a single‑rider craft that delivers a direct, tactile connection to the water — a slightly more advanced alternative to kayaks that still suits both children and adults who want a more active way to explore the lake.
A step up from a kayak
Instructors describe the paddleboard as slightly more advanced than the kayaks on offer; that balance of challenge and accessibility makes it a good next step for paddlers ready to stand and steer on their own.
Flexible durations and multi‑day potential
Trips are offered in a range of lengths — hourly sessions, half‑day and full‑day options, and multi‑day bookings are available by calling the operator for arrangements.
