Take to the Lake Kayak Lesson 1- 10:00am-11:15am

TRY-IT: KAYAKING

Have you always wanted to try kayaking?  Now’s your chance! Join Cleveland Metroparks to learn paddle techniques and basic boat fitting as you try kayaking under the guidance of certified instructors.

 A couple of things to note:

1. All participants should arrive early, and be prepared to sign an additional waiver.
2. Each paddler will be in their own kayak. There are no tandems. 
3. Individuals should plan to get wet. Footwear that secures to the foot such as a tennis shoe or a water shoe is mandatory while participating in the activity. Crocs, slides, or flip flops are not suitable, and footwear is not provided.
4. Activities will be on land and on the lake. All participants are required to wear a properly fitted lifejacket while on the water (provided by Cleveland Metroparks Outdoor Recreation).
5. Your feedback about the program is essential. Please help us to continue to offer successful programs by completing an online evaluation.

Participants must be AT LEAST 8 YEARS OLD to participate. All youth participants must be accompanied by a responsible adult. 

Participants must be UNDER 275 POUNDS to accommodate the life jackets and boats available.
