3700 W Prien Lake Rd
Lake Charles, LA

Kayaking enables a paddler to go places other boats cannot navigate. You can squeeze through narrow inlets and float across very shallow water. The slower pace of kayaking allows you to observe more of the beautiful surroundings of southwest Louisiana. This provides plenty of opportunities to see birds, alligators, turtles, and other animals in their natural habitats.
