About
Lake Camanche offers kayak rentals. Kayaks are perfect for those wanting a fun lake experience – both for the experienced kayaker and first timers.
Tips for beginners
-
Your weight while sitting on your kayak should be reasonably centered front-back and side to side. Make sure your head is looking where you want to go.
-
Practicing turning is good for learning to paddle in a straight line. Long wide “sweep” strokes work well. If you want to maintain forward momentum then use forward strokes but if you’re stopped you can use alternating forward and backward strokes on each side.
-
Forward strokes should all be “from your feet to your seat”. Backward strokes from the stern to your seat.
