GRANTSBURG, Wis. - Parents looking for opportunities to get their children outside this summer can introduce them to the sport of kayaking at a Kids in Kayaks program at Crex Meadows State Wildlife Area on Saturday, August 15, from 10 a.m. to noon.
This one-session class introduces kids to the basics of kayaking in a hands-on setting. After a brief safety orientation participants will launch kayaks and paddle around Phantom Lake. Instructors will teach participants through a variety of games and wildlife exploration. Kayaking is easy, fun, and a great way to experience close encounters with wildlife as a family. Plan your next paddle adventure at Phantom Lake!
Rent a single or double kayak for $25 or bring your own! Wild River Outfitters will supply kayaks. Fee includes: kayaks, paddles, and personal flotation. Space limited to 20 participants, ages 12 and over. Pre- registration and life jackets are required. Participants will meet on the south side of Phantom Lake at the boat launch.
