Located within Congaree National Park, the Cedar Creek paddle trail is a well-marked, self-guided path that leads kayakers and canoeists through the ethereal stillness of the park’s massive bald cypress and water tupelo trees. Rent your own watercraft or participate in one of the park’s ranger-led canoe tours, which are free and include canoe use and fascinating stories about the park. You can also rent kayaks at Saluda Shoals Park, which sits on a particularly pretty stretch of the Saluda that’s dotted with giant boulders and small islands, or at Sesquicentennial State Park, where a tranquil lake is perfect for beginners. Many outfitters rent stand-up paddleboards as well.

No matter which trip you choose, get ready to be awed by nature – veteran paddlers report regular sightings of egrets, heron and turtles; you’ll also likely spot river otters, muskrat, eagles and even the occasional swimming deer. In early summer, the shoreline is awash in clouds of white spider lilies, a rare, fragrant flower that blooms for about three weeks.

Rather float than work? In additional to kayak rentals, Palmetto OutdoorsAdventure Carolina and others rent inner tubes and provide shuttle service back to the put-in point for a stress-free trip down the river at your own pace.

Taking a break

Paddlers also flock to Lake Murray, where small islands serve as serene picnic spots and the 650 or so-miles of scalloped coastline is decorated with shady coves and small sandy beaches. Rental kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards and even paddleboats are widely available. Launch at a local marina or near the dam on the Irmo side, at Dreher Island State Park and at various SCE&G recreation areas in Chapin and Prosperity. During the summer months, you can also join guided sunset tours of the lake or cruise to Bomb Island, a former WWII aircraft training ground that’s taken over each summer by tens of thousands of purple martins. The area is so popular with the swooping birds that it was designated as the first Purple Martin Sanctuary in the U.S.

1.Buyer Guide for Kayaks Paddles

I went shopping online at 4 different online stores to find the right paddle for my kayak.

The first store I went to was REI to get more infomation about buying the right paddle for my new kayak. There are a few thing to think about shift, blade, material and price, and last length. By choosing the right paddle you can save yourself a lot energy. Here is some information from REI:

Figuring out the right size (length) of paddle is surprisingly straightforward. The wider your boat is, the longer your paddle needs to be. Your height is also a factor, especially for a narrower boat: Taller paddlers need longer paddles.

2.How to find a good kayak rental company?

I like traveling and trying new things. I have been to 20 different city this past month. I have enjoy good food, good weather, roof top bars, and the beach. I also have enjoy learning and listening to interesting people. There are different rental programs across the country at universities and colleges. I came a cross a program about the local University of North Florida (UNF), they offer “Gear Check-out & Adventure Trips.” The students can use the gear for free, for example, kayaks, canoing, and rock climbing.

It was a great weekend just enjoying drinking and nature per usual.

Best Fishing Practices

Many anglers plan ahead and incorporate best fishing practices using tips to ensure safe and responsible angling. Thank you to www.fishsmart.org or providing the following tips:.

Plan Ahead

Know your fishing regulations and have the necessary equipment ready to release fish that you do not plan to keep.

Avoidance

Develop fishing skills to target the size and species you desire. Change location, depth, or bait to avoid catching fish you do not intend to keep.

Appropriate Gear

Use appropriately sized gear that is targeted to the species you desire to catch. Use circle hooks when planning to release fish and where they are required.

Landing Fish

Do not play the fish to exhaustion. Use line strong enough to minimize playing time. Land the fish quickly and if possible, release them while still in the water.

Handling Fish

Use knotless, rubberized landing nets and rubberized gloves to avoid removing the slime layer from the fish’s body. Keep the fish horizontal and support the body. Avoid dropping the fish, especially onto hard surfaces. Use release tools, such as dehookers and recompression tools, to minimize handling. Release fish as soon as practical and do not keep them out of the water longer than necessary.
