This system has been set up for kayakers of all abilities and in- cludes a mandatory short basic kayaking instructional video that is required prior to the code being sent. The units all include the kayak/board, life vests, and paddles. Every unit is cleaned and ster- ilized weekly. So far, the Kayak Kiosk at the Preserve has been well received. People can use the different types of vessels to learn which one suits them prior to purchasing their own kayak. Others may have friends who have their own kayak, but need to rent one for them- selves in order to be able to join. The tandem and trio kayaks also make it easy for families with smaller children to enjoy this sport. The Kayak Kiosk allows everyone to enjoy the lake together! Currently, the kiosk is operational for the season at the Preserve for visitors to use. On the weekends, there is usually an attendant or two. They have water and drinks, snacks, and even ice cream. They might even pull out their slip-n-slide! 2023 is the final year of Riverside Adventure Company’s existing contract to provide this service to the public. Dave and Bob are both very hopeful that the kiosks will be able to return next year.
