Take a kayak. Add a person. Drop 'em in a lake...
Heaven. From the open top double-hull kayaks that we have at the resort to the snazzy free-style white water kayaks, and all the more conventional designs in between, it doesn't seem to matter a bit the age of the paddler -- in a kayak, we're all one with the water.
Eamon looked like a pro his very first try at the sport. Dave and Mike battle it out at every opportunity, and John very simply enjoys being able to get so close to the wildlife, so silently, that they seem to think he's just something floating by.
An early morning paddle along our shore, either by kayak or canoe, will often reward you with a glimpse of the great blue herons, mergansers or loons that frequent the bay.
If you're never tried kayaking, but want something more organized than learning along our shoreline, every Wednesday until September 24th Algonquin Outfitters in downtown Huntsville offers Kayak Wednesdays. Meet at the store at 6, and they'll have you on the water by 7 p.m., for a two hour paddle along the Muskoka River. It's only $15, and you get to try different kayaks from their inventory, as well as get a look at the river, with a guide.
