Preparing For A Kayak Trip - Sayward Kayak Rental

When recreating in the outdoors, preparing for the unexpected can help make the most of your experience.

Weather

Sayward Kayak Rental operates in and around alpine and marine environments. Weather can change unexpectedly. Dress in layers to stay comfortable. Mornings can be chilly and afternoons can be warm. Wind can vary between calm and gusty during your trip. Rain can occur even when the morning starts off sunny with clear skies. Bringing sunscreen is also recommended.

 

Tides

Kayaking in the estuary during low tide will cut off access to a lot of area and make paddling upstream more challenging. Timing your Sayward Kayak rental to when the tide is coming in will provide maximum access and make paddling upstream easier.

Wildlife

While exploring the estuary, you may see otters, migratory waterfowl, bears or elk. When exploring lakes, you may see freshwater fish, deer, elk or bears. Treat all wildlife with respect by staying well away minimize potential conflicts. Never attempt to touch of take selfies with wildlife. Do not get in between a bear and its cubs.
