Keuka Lake’s waters are generally calm, but safety begins with properly fitted personal flotation devices.

Check weather before renting

Sudden changes in wind can affect kayaking conditions on the lake; plan your trip on a calm day.

Bring water and sunscreen

No shade on open water means hydration and UV protection are necessary during your paddle.

Use proper paddling technique

Keep your strokes smooth and relaxed to conserve energy and maintain control on the water.
