Adventure Tips

Wear Water-Friendly Shoes

Opt for shoes that can get wet and dry quickly since you’ll be stepping in and out of the boat near the barge.

Bring Sunscreen

The lake offers little shade during your float, so protect your skin with sunscreen to avoid sunburn.

Secure Your Belongings

Keep valuables in waterproof bags or leave them onshore to prevent damage from splashes or accidental dips.

Paddle at a Comfortable Pace

The trip is leisurely, but maintain control to avoid drifting too far from the ice cream barge and fellow paddlers.
