Connie Perry, owner of Frisky Otter Tours in Inlet, will offer a new “Paddling Partners” program starting Thursday, July 11th.
The program is designed to provide support and assistance to people who would like to go kayaking but may need help with transportation, destination knowledge, paddling skills, or just want someone to paddle with for safety or social reasons, Perry said.
Frisky Otter Tours encourages people with special needs to also sign up for the program.
This new program will be available from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Thursday through August 29th. The cost per guided trip, including transportation, is $35 for those who need a boat and equipment, and $25 for those who already have a boat.
If you need equipment Frisky Otter staff will set you up with the right boat for your skill level, body type and conditions.
The program is being offered at a lower rate than the regular guided tours, Perry said, as an incentive for people who want to go kayaking but are uncomfortable going out on their own.
Trip destinations include Seventh Lake, South Inlet of Raquette Lake, Brown’s Tract Pond, Moss Lake, Limekiln Lake, Eighth Lake, Big Moose Lake and South Pond.
Reservations are required and can be made up until the day of the trip. Space is limited to ten people including staff. To make a reservation call (315) 357-3444 or email friskyottertours@yahoo.com.
