For those seeking to dip their paddles into the waters of a new hobby, Cleary Lake Regional Park is offering an opportunity to learn the rudiments of kayaking. On July 20, from 1 to 4 PM, outdoor enthusiasts can get their feet wet — figuratively speaking — in the art of this aquatic activity. Scott County’s alert details a session that promises to educate participants on kayaking safety, proper paddling form, and various paddle strokes.
For a fee of $50, adventurers — minors included, provided they're 14 or older — will have access to the necessary equipment and the wisdom of the Outdoor Recreation School instructors. Looking ahead, it's not just the ducks that need to get their ducks in a row; reservations are a must, and they’re required two days before the event. If you're inclined to reserve your spot, or if sitting in a kayak piques your interest, give them a call at 763-559-6700.
According to the official announcement, the park offers a scenic backdrop that will satiate nature lovers and first-time kayakers alike. This tri-hourly session isn't just about getting you to paddle in straight lines or circles; it’s equally an opportunity to embrace the tranquil surroundings while gaining a new skill set.
Keep in mind, spaces for this immersive experience are limited, with instructors dedicated to providing personalized attention to budding kayakers.
