Introduction to Kayaking

Grab your hat and sunscreen and learn to paddle a kayak. Our certified kayak instructors will teach you the basics of paddling, entering and exiting a kayak, and a few basic strokes before you launch your kayak on Lake Needwood. Once on the water, you can continue to practice your skills and/or tour the lake looking for wildlife. It’s a perfect way to spend a relaxing summer day. Kayak rentals and life jackets are included in registration. Paddlers must be confident enough to paddle alone in a single-person kayak. Please meet at the Lake Needwood Boat House, 15700 Needwood Lake Cir, Rockville, MD 20855.
