And since it’s catch and release only, you can enjoy the experience while helping to keep the lake thriving.

Grab a paddle and put your balance to the test in a canoe, kayak, or Corcl. Staying steady is just the start. It takes teamwork, coordination, and a bit of nerve to steer through twists, turns, and unexpected splashes. And if that feels easy, try switching seats without tipping over. With support from your group (and maybe a few wobbly moments), you’ll find the rhythm to keep moving together.
