Kayaking

Hpoefully more pictures to come. This was a great adventure. My
favorite part was going from lake to lake.

Blurb from our kayak website:

This is the perfect trip to fill that morning, afternoon or evening
void in your schedule. Families love this trip, Girls night out,
mother-daughter, father-son, boyfriend -girlfriend: It's just a FUN
TRIP.

Situated in the heart of the Matanuska Valley and within minutes of
your valley lodging (call us we can book your room) is a lake chain
most visitors never see. As the glaciers retreated they carved a large
channel that filled with water from the melting ice. This chain of
four lakes all connected by gentle flowing streams makes for an
enjoyable paddle anytime of day. It is common to see, eagles,
muskrats, beavers, salmon, trout, and assorted water fowl.

May is highlighted with multiple families of mergansers and grebes in
the streams. Children love the bright yellow flowers and green petals
of water lilies which highlight the month of June. July and August
find the streams FILLED with RED SALMON: And the best way to view
salmon? From a kayak of course.

You can select the four lakes or the three lakes tour. The four lakes
tour involves a portage of about 100 yards and a climb of about 100
feet. The three lakes tour has one small portage across a road;
otherwise you paddle in streams that connect all the lakes.

You park at the Kayak Center on Wasilla lake, leave your car, and we
will shuttle you and your boats to Cottonwood Lake. Off you go for a
great paddle. The average trip time is 4 hrs. But, you have your boat
for the day so take your time.

We give you a map, (hard to get lost) a quick paddle intro if you need
one, and off you go.

Clothing: You get wet (paddles drip, water fights happen….), we
recommend nylon pants, a shoe you can get wet, pack to carry extra
clothing in, wind jacket just in case.
