County Waters Kayaking

What can I say about last night's Glow Night except WOW! Once again I was blessed to be kayaking with an incredible group of people. The weather was perfect, water was like glass, and the sky was gorgeous. We went out onto the lake as the sun was lowering on the horizon to meet the perfect sunset. Quite a few beavers splashing around and a few muskrats too. As the lights started glowing, the "oohs" and 'ahs" started (I love hearing those) and the night became magical. It was everything awesome.

Im so glad I got to share the last public Glow Night of the season with such a fun group. My heart is full, my smile is large, but Im also a little sad it's coming to end for the year. There's only a few more days of kayaking left before I have to rack the fleet for the season. If youd like to book, now is the time. As the weather has cooled down considerably and dusk is coming sooner, I'll be keeping the tours strictly to Lacombe Lake, Middle Chain, and Magee.

Available Monday-Wednesday this coming week 5pm-7pm so you can get a sunset experience. Give me a call 780-605-3688

This Saturday is our last public Glow Night with no minimum booking numbers this season. If you have wanted to try the night paddle and haven't had the chance, now's the time to book. Launching 630pm on Lacombe Lake. We kayak the sunset then enjoy the vibrancy of a Glow.

Our Glow Nights include illuminated kayak for each person complete with underwater and deck lighting, glow sticks, pfd and paddle, safety equipment, waterproof phone case, waterproof bag for your extra jacket and gloves, even a waterproof lap pad to make sure your dry from little drips and dribbles. We pull you into and out of the water to keep your feet warm and dry too. We have thought of everything.

$75/person. Still room for 4 more to join the night. Phone 780-605-3688 for information and booking.

You dont see me much on social media because I dont like to be. Yesterday I was pushed WAY out of my comfort zone doing a quick interview for the Lacombe and District Chamber of Commerce. I felt horribly self conscious doing this. But here's the thing. I DID IT. Being nominated for a business award has more behind the scenes steps than i anticipated. Phew!

You may notice that Im not young, I'm not fit, and Im definitely not who most would picture being out there paddling nearly every single day, but here I am. I can paddle all day, look after my guests safety, and have the skills to make sure I can physically rescue you if ever an emergency were to happen (like should a whale breach on the lake and land on your kayak, I can get you back in it and to shore. Or you do something silly and leap out of your kayak lol)

Kayaking doesn't need you to be built like super model, young, or even have all your factory parts like hips and knees. Kayaking just needs you to be willing to try. Put yourself out of your comfort zone for just a minute and you may find that youll be proud of yourself too for doing something new.

Our tours are easy paddling, we have kayaks that are easy to get in and out of, and we always keep a relaxed pace for all activity levels.

Only a few more weeks of paddling before the ice comes. Today we are on Lacombe Lake at 5pm with room for more to join. Give me a call at 780-605-3688 for information and booking.

Happy Monday! Let's go kayak on Magee Lake to see the shoreline leaves changing colours. We have room for 4 more people to join at 5pm today.

We provide the kayak, all the gear with it, and guide you too. No experience necessary. Just calm water and peaceful paddling. As it's cooler, we will also be providing waterproof lap pads to keep your legs dry from drips and dribbles, as well as pulling you in and out of the water so you dont have to get your feet wet.

Now is the time to get your kayaking time in before the frosty nights turn into frosty days and frosty lakes.

Give us a call for information and booking.

Some people fill my bucket just a little bit extra. Tonight those people were filling my kayaks with smiles and laughter. I needed that. I really really needed that. Feeling pretty blessed. 🩷
Tomorrow we have another Glow Night. Taking the weekend off as the weather is supposed to be yucky. Hopefully some more paddling next week. Crossing fingers for some more warm Autumn kayaking.

What an incredible night. Through the great folks at Tourism Red Deer, we were chosen to represent the area's unique attractions with our Glow Nights for Travel Alberta.

Cooper & O'Hara Photography as well as Pluto Pictures came out to video and take photos at Three Mile Bend and Kiwanis Park. We had so much fun with their models, their staff, and the night in general. Professional and exceptional!

I was fortunate to have Danielle Doig assist me getting the kayaks ready and taking some shots of her own on shore. Could not have pulled this off without her, especially the part where she came sprinting into the shallow river then paddling out with a tow rope for me to pull one of the talent members back to shore. Thank you Danielle for all your help and for taking these photos.

Overall a fantastic experience.
