What to Wear & Bring

Life jackets (personal flotation devices or PFDs) will be provided and must be worn by all paddlers. Kayaks are low to the water so dress for getting wet. Quick-dry clothes are recommend since cotton gets heavy and chilly in cold temperatures when wet. Depending on the weather, you might want to bring protective clothes (windbreaker, rain jacket, fleece, etc.) in a dry bag.

    • Wear old sneakers, swim shoes, or sports sandals

    • Sunglasses and a sun hat

    • Snacks and a water bottle

    • Sunscreen

    • Waterproof case for your phone (or leave it on land)

    • In cooler temps wear wet suits or dry suits.
