Kayak/canoe

You don't need to hit the coast for thrilling aquatic adventures. Getting out and exploring aquatic activities across the state can be fun for all ages. From families with young children to college students and retirees, Kansas' lakes, reservoirs and rivers can provide hours of fun and relief from those hot, summer days. Some activities, such as canoeing and kayaking, can also be enjoyed during the offseason months.
