Wabasis Lake Park: Beginner Kayaking

Ready to paddle? Blandford Nature Center instructors will walk you through everything you need to know to feel confident on a kayak. You'll start with the fundamentals—learning about kayak equipment and basic paddling techniques on dry land. Then you'll head out for a gentle paddle along the shoreline of Wabasis Lake, where instructors will point out the plants, animals, and aquatic life you spot along the way. This program is designed for adults ages 18 and up. The cost is $15 per person and includes kayak rental. Pre-registration is strongly recommended since space fills up, though walk-ins are welcome if spots remain available. Online registration closes one hour before the program starts. Plan to arrive a few minutes early, as the group departs promptly. Since activities happen outdoors rain or shine, dress appropriately for the weather with sturdy shoes for unpaved paths. If anyone in your group has mobility concerns, reach out ahead of time so organizers can make accommodations.
