Day Excursion to Lake Murray State Park to a secluded 1 mile cove with a consistent 30ft of water clarity. Close to a mile of rocks, ledges, nook coves and sandy areas will make for a wonderful day of paddling and snorkeling.
Rentals Available.
VIP - includes floating catered lunch, water toys and games.
Perfect for kids and newbies.
*****IMPORTANT NOTE*****
This map is to the park only - not the launch. We will include launch maps with ticketing.
We realize that we have attendees with different skill levels and feel this location is perfect for everyone. We plan to float and raft-up for the day. Experienced paddlers can explore the cove and an island while newbies can snorkel the rock ledges often in the shade and still have a wonderful experience. There are hundreds of shells from zebra mussels to take home as a souvenir.

A fun treasure map will be sent to attendees that include places to visit for all skill levels. This includes collecting shells while snorkeling, island visiting and fish viewing. You are at your own pace on this so if you want to hard paddle, snorkel or lounge it's all here.
We will have all of our Bote toys out there (and some new ones) to make the raft-up memorable. We will bring fresh fruit, snacks and ice cold Ozarka bottled water for everyone. Moderate drinking is okay on this trip BYOB.
This event requires low winds and clear skies. If the conditions are not met it will move to the next Saturday with good conditions.
**Launch - boat ramp with sandy launch on side
**Board Conditions - Rocky ledges but okay for Surf Class**
