We Did It: Kayak Boat Rides at Discovery Green

Macaroni Local: Unique fun on Discovery Green's Kinder Lake

July 16, 2013
If you are looking for something a little different to add to your summer bucket list, consider trying a kayak ride. Kayak Boat Rides on Discovery Green's Kinder Lake offer a unique, yet enjoyable (and affordable) activity option.

Each kayak is piloted by a professional guide. Your $5 ride fee covers two laps around Kinder Lake to learn about paddling and enjoy fish swimming in the lake. Kayak boat rides for the summer are every Tuesday - Friday through August 23rd. Operational hours are 11am - 5pm.

My twins have done this, and enjoyed the experience more than I'd anticipated. Our takeaways from the experience: prepare to remove your shoes and to get just a little wet. All passengers wear a life jacket, and the guides are extraordinarily helpful in making sure the experience is safe and enjoyable.

The Rules: Children must be signed in by a parent or guardian, with no exceptions. Parents must also complete a release form. Parents aren't required to ride with children. Kayaks hold up to two children or one adult and one child at a time for a total of three people including the guide. 

Price: $5 per person.
