Inflatable Kayak Blog

Living in southern Indiana, we don’t have a lot of beautiful lakes and rivers to go kayaking in, and having a hotter than normal spring and summer has postponed us getting our kayak in the water until this past week while we were on vacation at the Fairfield Glade resort in Tennessee. We love the area and they have many beautiful lakes to put the kayak in for a paddle. Though it was still fairly warm we took the kayak to one of the largest and deepest lakes at the resort, Lake Dartmoor. We launched from the little beach area and had several curious onlookers checking us out as we were inflating the kayak. We always love to tell people how much we love our inflatable kayak and show them how easy it is to get it inflated and into the water.

We had been on this part of the lake before, but always love to check out the big beautiful homes as we paddle by. As we were paddling to the nearest golf hole, a line of geese came swimming across the lake. We watched as they made their way to the other end of the lake. I had my camera, as usual, and managed to get several pictures of them as they passed by us.

There was a slight breeze on the water that help keep us a little cool and also gave us a chance to try out our Windpaddle sail. We were pleasantly surprised that even with the small breeze we were able to get the kayak moving along pretty well. We definitely need more practice with that, but it will be handy to have on future paddling trips.

We didn’t want to stay out too long seeing it was our first trip of the year, but it felt great to get out on the water, get some exercise and get some great pictures too.
