Spending time outdoors is one of the most underrated pleasures in life. Exploring our natural surroundings is something we should all make a priority and there are a lot of ways we can do that but there is a really cool experience that is happening soon in Indiana.

Get Paddling

Admittedly, I have very limited experience with kayaking and canoeing, but the experience that I do have has created lasting memories for me. Despite the physical demand of paddling, I still found the experience to be incredibly relaxing and the opportunity to see my environment from a new perspective was exhilarating.

Paddle Indiana

My experience took place while I was traveling, but there are plenty of places to paddle here at home in Indiana too. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources offers a wonderful guide to rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and more where you can get out and paddle.

Don't Own Your Own? Rent It!

If you're like me and you'd like to do some paddling but you don't own your own kayak or canoe, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources even offers details about liveries and outfitters near the various waterways that will allow you to rent the equipment and gear you need to get paddling.
