Gliding freely across the surface of the water, seeing wildlife and recreating with friends are some of the best reasons for kayaking. Single and two-person ‘sit-on-top’ kayaks are available. This program is ideal for people with mobility and visual limitations. Kayaking is offered 2 times a year, with each session running approximately 6 weeks. Program fee includes equipment and round trip transportation from Telephone Pioneer Park to Lake Pleasant.     Sled Ice Hockey
