Beautiful area to kayak. Lots of drugs turtles and vegetation. We saw eagles as well. They were beautiful to observe. On one of my trips I even had a dragonfly take a rest on my hand for a few minutes.

We bring the kayaks here & its absolutely beautiful if you time it correctly with the vegetation growth! Lots of native wildlife and the water is relatively clear in most areas. This year there was a nesting bald eagle who always lingered …

Your surrounded by wild life sanctuary. Bears are learning where to stay away from but they roam every where up here. That's for sure.
