We had such a fun tour! It was easy enough for the ones that had never been kayaking. Mark shared interesting info about the lake and springs, but gave our group plenty of space to enjoy each other’s company along the way. We especially enjoyed the time to explore when we reached the cool springs. Would definitely return on our next visit!
