Cane Creek State Park’s kayak trail will lead you through striking aquatic vegetation, from bald cypress trees, lily pads, to the spectacular American lotus blossoms.
Paddlers are welcome to go off the kayak trail. The trail is a suggested path to see the lake’s many attrac-tions including wildlife and wildlife homes, from beaver lodges, to bald eagle nests, to woodpecker holes.
A combination of vertical yellow buoys and reflective badges mark this adventure-filled trail. Suitable for canoes and kayaks, the kayak trail is sure to provide at least an hour and a half of excitement.
