Canoe & Kayak
If you are looking for a place to spend your summer, try out the great outdoors and enjoy some time paddling on Charleston Lake. Paddlers can explore 75 km of shoreline with numerous bays and coves that offer different perspectives each day; this area is designated motorboat-free, so there will be no motors used which make it easier when exploring these shores! Sea kayaking has become increasingly popular over recent years because it lends itself well to vessels like those owned by sea lovers today – but don’t worry about being left behind as we’ve set up two portages available just outside our borders (one leading directly into Killenbeck Lake)
