NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!

There’s so much to learn and so much to love about kayaking in the beautiful Adirondacks.

As a full service touring kayak, canoe and small boat center, our goal is to introduce you to a whole new world of fun and knowledge about this environmentally responsible and enjoyable way to explore our diverse waterways.

Paddling is a life skill that’s great for the body and mind. It’s the perfect activity that can be enjoyed by all ages with varying physical abilities.

It’s our desire that everyone who passes through our boathouse and our store paddles away with an increased understanding and appreciation for this wonderful sport.

We at Lake George Kayak Co. look forward to sharing out passion for paddling with you and your family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Well, if you have seen "The Poseidon Adventure" then you know you can roll any boat over. Kayaks have a much undeserved reputation for being tippy, however. People look at a wide canoe and a narrow kayak and assume that the canoe is much more stable. The difference is in the center of gravity in both boats. A canoe has to be wider because the paddler is up higher in the boat. We can make kayaks narrower (which increases performance) because you are sitting very low in the boat. In a kayak you also have the advantage of your paddle. Just like a tightrope walker you have a pole held across your body that increases your balance. So in practice, kayaks aren't any more tippy than canoes or any other small boats.
