Canoeing and Kayaking

Paddle across the waters of Land Between the Lakes- where 300 miles of scenic, undeveloped shoreline await you! Whether you choose to paddle the expansive waters of Kentucky and Barkley Lakes or one of the many inland lakes throughout the peninsula, adventures for all skillsets abound. Make it a day trip, or pack your camping gear and disperse camp along the natural shoreline.
