Or perhaps you are a skilled athlete looking to up your game.  Our kayak, canoe or SUP programs, trips, and tours can help you learn to paddle in whitewater, calm lakes or on the sea. We offer a full line up of Stand Up Paddle Boarding classes,  it’s the newest way to get on the water and is growing fast. Canoeing is still the best way to get a family on the water or if you take your dog everywhere a canoe is just the ticket.  Rafts are more your speed?  No problem.  At Alder Creek, we have something for EVERYONE.
