Kayaking At Northwind
Lodge is fun for the whole family!
If you've never
been in a kayak only because you've seen all of those ESPN film
clips of gonzo whitewater kayakers flipping over, don't worry.
That's really NOT how true kayaking is at Northwind Lodge or anywhere
else for that matter. The kayaks we use are general, recreational
kayaks which have big coskpits and are quite stable. The biggest
fear most people have is flipping over and not being able to fall
out of the kayak. That doesn't happen with our Old Town kayaks.
Unless you are doing something really unusual (can't imagine what
that would be), you will fall out of the kayak and float there
alongside of with your lifevest on. Tipping these kayaks is also
a very infrequent occurence. It's possible, but pretty hard to
do because you have to literally lean back and hard to one side.
Why you would do that, would be difficult to understand as well.
If you just sit comfortably and normally, it's a LOT of fun whether
you know how to swim or not! So relax and enjoy! A lot
of our guests get so hooked on kayaking it remains a really high
point of their stay at Northwind Lodge!
We provide
a bunch of kayaks for our guests who are encouraged to use them
anytime they want. Our only requirements are that you:
- Wear your PFD
whenever in a kayak or paddleboat
- Use it for only
2 hours per time so others can get to paddle
- Put it back
in the appropriate spot when through
- Don't drag it
to the water, please carry it (not too heavy)
