Lake Martin Kayaking Meetup!

Important Updates:

• Unfortunately, Champagnes has stopped allowing launching from their pier if you're not renting one of their kayaks. Therefore, if you have your kayak or canoe, you must use the boat ramp and meet us at Champagnes Cajun Swamp Tours at the planned start time.
• Unfortunately, Champagnes has raised their kayak rental prices from $15 per hour to $20 per hour. We go kayaking for 2 hours and therefore the cost per person for 2 hours is $40.
• Please take Hwy 31 to Lake Martin. The entrance to Lake Martin from Prairie Hwy 353 is closed. As soon as it reopens, I'll remove this update.

Let's meet at Champagne's Cajun Swamp Tours at Lake Martin (https://champagnesswamptours.com/). You have two options when kayaking in Lake Martin.

1. If you don't have a kayak or canoe, the rentals are $15.00 per hour from Champagne's.
2. If you have your kayak or canoe, you must use the boat ramp. Champagnes has stopped allowing launching from their pier if you're not renting one of their kayaks.
