Happy New Year! Join us for our first paddle of 2026 on beautiful Banks Lake. We'll paddle the perimeter of the lake, which is approximately 4 miles around. Once we launch there will be no place to get out of your kayak until we return to the boat ramp. Dress accordingly for the weather, we will cancel if it's raining.
