Great experience from top to bottom! The lake was beautiful and smooth, perfect for kayaking, and the buoys in the water helped mark an easy path to follow in the more shallow parts. It was really fun going from the lake to the river and seeing all the wildlife along the way. We’re already looking forward to our next trip!
