Kayaking in Yellowstone
Yellowstone was the world’s first national park and a popular tourist destination for people from all over the world. The national park is famed for its beautiful scenery and stunning wildlife and there is no better way to experience it than kayaking your way through it.
There are a few highly recommended companies that offer kayak and canoe hire in Yellowstone Park. Specially designed trails have been set out so that people of all skill levels can enjoy kayaking through the national park. One of the most popular routes is to take the 9 mile tour from the Lewis River Channel to Shoshone Lake.
The park provides the following guidance on this trail:
“Start at the Lewis Lake boat dock, and follow the west shore. Then head north to Lewis Lake Channel. Crossing the open water of Lewis Lake is not recommended, due to sudden storms. Stay close to shore and start early to avoid the wind. Allow four to six hours of paddling to reach Shoshone Lake.”
There are of course many other routes in which visitors can explore. There are many who head to the park to explore the waterways at their own leisure. These are often experienced kayakers. Visitors should spend time researching a suitable route for them.
Kayak hire in Yellowstone is fairly cheap and a must for any visitor. The views from a kayak are like no other and lets you get close to wild animals such as elks, moose, eagles and badgers.
