Salem Lake: Day-Paddle

Type of Outing: Paddle
Distance: 7.5-8 miles
Fee(s): $4.00 put-in fee for own kayak; $4.00/hr for Salem Lake rentals
Pacing: Moderate

Please join me for a delightful, late spring Sunday paddle around Salem Lake in Winston-Salem, NC. This lake is usually teeming with wildlife and glistening, emerald waters. We will put in at the beach near the marina office and complete a loop around the lake, with the option of exploring some of the other avenues it offers beneath the bridge.

You may bring your own kayak and put in for a fee of $4.00 or rent a kayak from the lake for $4.00/hr. Bring lunch, sunscreen, personal flotation device, and plenty of water with you and please be prepared for a moderately-paced paddle. Rentals sell out quickly and are first-come, first-serve. If renting, I highly recommend arriving early to claim your rental and get geared up.
