Arrowhead Found on Beach
A small arrowhead was found on one of our beach breaks. Native Americans came to Yellowstone, post glaciation about 12,000-13,000 years ago. Fishing around the lake was a great resource and still is for the native wildlife. It is wrong to take arrowheads from the park, so we hid it under a rock to be found again and again on our tours. Super amazing find with some great history!
05
Broken Geyser
One of the remarkable sights along our Yellowstone kayaking tour is a unique geyser that can be viewed from the water. This unusual geothermal feature is essentially a cross section of a geyser, revealing a fascinating look at Yellowstone’s volcanic geology. It still erupts occasionally, but its eruptions are uncommon. When it does erupt, the water shoot out of the whole like a waterfall, creating a memorable sight for kayakers fortunate enough to witness it.

Quality Paddle Gear
We have quality paddle gear between our fleet of kayaks, carbon fiber paddles, splash jackets, life vests, and spray skirts. We are always doing our best to make sure you have a fun, safe and comfortable time on the water.

Lewis Lake Afternoon Paddle
An afternoon on Lewis Lake is a great way to decompress. This two-hour paddle follows remote backcountry shoreline and has a few backcountry thermal features to see along the way. Optional stops for a beach break on an obsidian sandbar. Lewis Lake is a little warmer than Yellowstone Lake making it a nice place for a swim.
