Kayaking California's Flat Waters

Cutting a quiet path across still, crystal clear, blue waters, taking in picturesque panoramic landscape vistas is a unique experience you don’t want to miss. It can be one of the most emotionally and physically rewarding experiences you'll ever have.

Kayaking California's waterways provides a peaceful connection to the outdoors. It can provide a pleasant diversion and a great time away from life's day-to-day stress, whether you enjoy day tripping, extended weekend jaunts or expedition touring.

Paddling offers a unique way of enjoying the lakes, harbors, and bays in California. It lends itself to an enjoyable combination with another recent popular activity: kayak fishing. What better way to paddle a lake in your kayak, than to have your hook baited and your eyes on the lookout for the beauty that surrounds you!

Sit back and take in spellbinding lakes, with hidden hideaways tucked deep in the forested hills, as the sun slips behind the horizon and the moon climbs into the evening sky. Twinkling lights and shadows dance on the water as the sun sets and the moon rises. The rustle of critters settling down at nightfall awakens the senses, as you paddle quietly by, soaking in twilight’s peaceful enchantment, in a romantic moonlight adventure!

If you have never tried paddling a serene remote lake before, you will be glad once you do. So pack up your gear, hit the road and drive to a premier paddling destination this weekend!

In addition to providing superb paddling opportunities, outdoor enthusiasts who also enjoy camping, hiking, SUP paddle boarding, RViing, boating, fishing and sailing, windsurfing, and waterskiing can discover pristine flat water destinations in California to enjoy. Read more
