Adventure Tips
Wear a life jacket at all times
Life jackets are provided and should be worn regardless of swimming ability for safety on the water.
Bring bug spray
In warmer months, insect activity near the water can be intense; insect repellent helps maintain comfort.
Check weather before heading out
Boat rentals are weather dependent; strong winds or storms can affect safety and rental availability.
Pedal boats suit shorter trips
For pedal boats, 1-2 hours is ideal as extended use can tire legs quickly.
