Almost everyone has tried a ‘float trip’. But not many people take their canoes and kayaks out on the lakes. This puzzles us as lake kayaking is an excellent way to see the lakes and get really close to the animals and birds that live near there. It’s also great fun.

There are several types of kayaks and many new styles have come out in the last few years. Kayaking is quickly becoming a popular sport, and for good reason. Nearly everyone lives near a body of water. Kayaking requires (aside from purchase of the kayak, paddle, and life jacket) little outlay of cash.

The Ozarks are blessed with dozens of man-made reservoirs with clean water, healthy fish, and easy access. All of them are fantastic for kayaking.
