This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
BRAT Participants Only
Join us for a peaceful tandem (two-person) kayak or canoe float on beautiful Lake Acorn—one of our park’s most beloved spots.
During this guided paddle, you’ll learn a bit of park history, spot local wildlife, and enjoy the calm waters at your own pace. No paddling experience? No problem! Our staff will cover the basics before we set off.
We’ll meet in the Lodge Lobby and walk together to the Boat Rental Dock at the swim beach. From there, we’ll launch for about an hour of relaxed paddling and sightseeing.
Whether you’re an experienced paddler or trying it for the first time, this is the perfect way to soak in the park’s beauty during BRAT week.
