Adventure Tips
Arrive Early to Catch the Best Light
The magic of the sunrise happens quickly, so plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your rental time to make the most of the early light.
Bring a Light Jacket
Mornings on the lake can be cool, especially from fall through spring, so dressing in layers keeps you comfortable during the cruise.
Use Sunscreen Even in Early Morning
UV rays can still affect your skin at sunrise, so apply sunscreen before heading out on the water.
Keep a Binocular Handy
Bring binoculars to spot birds and turtles basking on logs or swimming nearby for a more immersive wildlife experience.
