This is a Guided Wildlife Paddle where Otters have been documented. We cannot guarantee they will be visible.
*This paddle is designed to be an easy social paddle but Mother Nature can throw us a curve ball with unexpected winds and rapidly changing conditions. If your a novice paddler no matter the age if you arrive and decide the conditions are too much for your skill level we are happy to reschedule into a different paddle. We welcome kids from the age of 6 and 48inches (you must be this tall to paddle) we also understand kids have different skill levels also. As a parent please make these decisions appropriately as these paddles are 2 hours long, have scheduled rest breaks and photo breaks. It is the law that all kids 13 and under wear a life jacket.
*This is a not-for-profit event. All proceeds at the end of the year benefit the purchase of winter coats that are donated to the Little Elm Food Bank for kids that are registered. In the past we have donated on average $1000 in new winter coats.
