New Kayak Dock
On Saturday May 6th Camp Nawakwa got a great new addition in the form of a kayak launch. This launch along with new floats for the boat dock should give members and guests of all ages more confidence to get on the water safely. The over head bar combined with the launch rails provides a very steady platform to enter and exit the lake in your watercraft of choice.
This boat launch and it’s subsequent installation was made possible by our Board of Directors and as always, a fantastic crew of volunteers that came out to help us get the work done! We can’t thank you enough!
Here’s a video from the manufacturer showing it’s intended use. (Please note our model has an improved handle design with 2 paddle notches.)
We look forward to seeing you on the water!
