FYI

01/10/2022

Chain O’Lakes is a hikers’ haven, but also a small boaters’ paradise. Are you looking for a water trail? Gliding along Chain’s paddle trail in a canoe or kayak is a unique way to enjoy the fantastic fall scenery.

The view of the stunning fall colors from water level coupled with the soothing sound of water lapping against the boat and dripping from the paddles as you drift down the channels is breathtaking. From the peaceful vantage of a boat, you see the reflections of the trees off the water, hear the calls of the birds and frogs living at the water’s edge, and feel the cool fall breeze.

Pick up a paddle trail scavenger hunt at boat rental or take this copy along with you on your next paddling adventure.
