Guided Kayaking Tour of Inks Lake

Learn kayaking basics then join park volunteers for a guided paddle program.

Have fun learning a new skill and getting a personal tour on the water.

We will be exploring the shore of Inks Lake State Park and its natural resources on this paddling trip. We'll talk about Riparian ecosystems, the plants and animals in and around the water, and the Geologic (rock) history down at Devil's Waterhole.
