Kayaking with the kids!

Kayaking with the kids...what a great experience. It took a while to get them in, but once they were in they didn't want to get out.

Kayaking in the Pinlands at Batsto Lake

Kayaking the Schuylkill Canal Lock 60

The Schuylkill Canal........... what a cool place. There are plenty activities to do along the canal such as biking, kayaking, picnicking, skiing, running, jogging,birding,fishing, hiking. I my self enjoy the paddling. Lock 60 offers a great paddling loop that allows for no shuttling. Today I launched my kayak in the Schuylkill River from the ramp at Lock 60 and paddled downstream for 2.5 miles. Then I made the short portage to the Schuylkill Canal. The portage is not to far maybe 400-500 feet, then paddled 2.5 miles back to Lock 60. Today there were plenty of turtles lying out in the sun and lots of little ducklings swimming around with their mothers. It was a great day to relax and paddle down the river. \
