It can be chilly on the water at night!

Yes, dress to get wet! The bottom half of your body will most likely get wet while getting in and out of the kayak. Further, dress in warm layers! The lake cools off at night, do not expect it to be as hot as it was during that day. Wear water shoes or shoes that can get wet.

Yes! You need to be comfortable in the water in order to join a Night Tour. We will be wearing life jackets throughout the entire tour, but for safety reasons we ask that everyone be competent swimmers.

You need to know the basics in order to be comfortable on the water and keep up with the pace of the group. You do not need to be a pro, but you must have prior experience paddling.
