There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most
of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story. - Linda Hogan

Learn to Kayak at Pop Stansell Park
This is a great introduction to kayaking in a sheltered park
that has abundant wildlife to observe. We start on land with some basic skills before we enter the shallow water in our kayaks.
Background on the ecology and the importance of estuaries will be covered while we paddle. This is ideal for women, couples and
families with older children. This two-hour class includes instruction, kayak and safety gear. Cost $30-35 per person
depending on the total number of people.
Most guided trips are 2-3 hours long and range in price from
$25-40 per person which includes a kayak, safety gear and a small snack. Please call for more details.
The weather's great - please email or call for the latest
