  • You must stay in your boat with life jackets on and fastened at all times during the rental. For your safety, swimming and landing at any other beach is not allowed, including French Landing. Boarding other boats or exchanging passengers is also prohibited.
  • Must be 18 years or older to book. Minors must have a legal parent or guardian present in the party. Must be 12 years or older to be in a single kayak with adult supervision.
  • Alcohol may not be brought into the State Park or onto our vessels. We reserve the right to inspect coolers prior to departure.
