Adventure Tips
Check Water Conditions Before Launch
Crater lake waters are calm but can change quickly—always verify current surface conditions before paddling.

Bring Water-Resistant Sunscreen
Reflective lake surfaces amplify sun exposure; protect yourself to prevent burns during longer paddle sessions.
Use Provided Life Jackets
Safety gear is included—wear the life jacket at all times on the water to ensure a secure experience.
