A cool morning mist lifts off a bowl-shaped lake as a guide clips life jackets and slides an ultralight single kayak into glassy water. Paddles whisper; small waves hesitate and then run playfully along a limestone shore. Lake Segrino is compact enough to circumnavigate in about two hours, so the rhythm of stroke and breath sets the pace for the whole outing.
