Pickerel Lake is a wonderful location to be introduced to the world of paddling for beginners or those wanting more paddling experience. Experts from the National Park Service will provide instruction and equipment for an adventure on the water for a wide range of experience and ability levels.

Adaptive paddling equipment is available, including hand adaptions for people who can grip a kayak paddle but need added support, or specialized outriggers attached to boats for balance assistance. If you would benefit from the use of adaptive equipment, please contact Ranger Kyle when you purchase your ticket at: kyle_just@nps.gov.

Attendees must be 18+. A person under 18 years old may attend if they are in a tandem kayak with an adult from the same household. See ticket link for more information.
