Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for Best Water Conditions
Morning paddling often means calmer water and lighter winds, perfect for young learners.
Wear Water Shoes
Rocky or uneven lake shorelines at Kings Beach can be tough on bare feet, so water shoes add comfort and safety.
Bring a Change of Clothes
Kids may get wet — having dry clothes handy keeps spirits high after paddle sessions.
Crossing the Street to Launch
Note that equipment needs to be carried across the road to reach the beach launch area—supervise children closely here.
