Speedwell Forge Lake

2 hrs (orientation + kayaking)

LITITZ, PA

SELF-GUIDED ADVENTURE

This quiet lake is an ideal adventure for all ages. Follow the lake under a bridge, into a secret cove, around a lush island, all the while growing in your kayak skills, watching the ever-present shore birds, and listening for the odd howl from the nearby Wolf Sanctuary. The pace of this adventure is all up to you. Our experience is that kids come away from this experience asking when they can go kayaking again.

This adventure begins and ends at the same lake launch point.
