Worth It!

Teresa_B, Jul 2025
Canoeing with Wayne was fabulous. Other inexperienced kayakers kept us off track a bit and the wind made it a little challenging

Unfortunately, our guide...

Unfortunately, our guide wasn’t feeling well, so our experience wasn’t exactly what we’d expected. However, we did enjoy our time on the lake in the kayaks (not canoes, as we know them), and our guide did take some nice pictures while we were out. All in all, we have some great memories of that day to take home.
