Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this kayaking experience? I'm thinking of gifting it to my teenage son.

A: Great question! The kayaking experience at Chilkoot Lake is suitable for most ages, but kids under 12 will need to be accompanied by an adult. It’s a pretty calm lake, so it should be perfect for teens. Just make sure they’re comfortable in the water!

Q: What if the weather is bad? Can you reschedule the trip?

A: Yes! Safety is a priority, so if the weather doesn’t cooperate, they’ll work with you to reschedule your kayaking trip. Just keep an eye on the forecast, and they’ll help you find a good day.

Q: What do we need to wear or bring for the kayaking trip?

A: Wear quick-dry clothes and bring a light jacket since it can get chilly on the water. Don’t forget sunscreen and a hat! They provide life jackets, but check if you need any specific gear. Comfortable shoes are a must, too!
