Details

Can you and your paddle partner(s) find all the lake ecology clues in an hour? Have fun searching Hastings Lake from a tandem canoe. Suitable for beginners, although paddling experience is preferred.

Brief on-land paddling instruction is provided prior to launching the canoes. Cost includes tandem canoe, paddle, life jacket, dry bag.

Staff and volunteers will be on the water and land to assist you, if needed.

Adult supervision required.

Minimum of two people registered per canoe team. Examples: 2 adult paddlers or 2 adult paddlers and up to 2 young children (ages 4-8, sitting in the canoe) or 1 adult paddler and 1 child paddler at least 9 years old.

 

 

Park in either the car-top launch lot or the lot by the playground and walk to the sandy launch.

Wear quick-dry clothes (no jeans, no 100% cotton fabric) and shoes with a heel strap and closed toes that will get wet (no flip-flops, Crocs or slides). Bring a water bottle.

Each participant must sign the waivers and wear a life jacket properly when on the water.
