Full moon kayak schedule for this year!

If you are new to Lakewood Village or haven't had a chance to join us, this is your lucky year! 

Lots of great dates!

Are you from one of the other lakes? Don't have a kayak? You can use any un-motorized craft; paddle boat, canoe, kayak, paddle boards, whatever! Still nothing?  No problem, just message me and I am sure we can find you one, Lake Neva's residents are always ready to lend someone their kayak!

Everyone of all ages are welcome, we sometimes have a huge group and I can guarantee the fun is always "PG," and there are always a lot of kids that come out!

I usually post a week before with times, because they change due to the sunset. But where we meet, well that’s always the same- the large part of Neva where it meets the canals. We then set off to Thompson Lake and make a pit stop at our beautifully renovated Thompson Park, now with outhouses 😊. Then we go to Thompson Island, hang out there for a bit and back to the meeting place. Feel free to find us anywhere on the route!

So, grab your family, snacks and of course a beverage and the most important: Don't forget to get your friends and neighbors to join in and come meet the rest of the neighborhood!!
