Kayaking the lazy river

I've been asking Craig to take me kayaking on the Dowagiac River for several weeks. We finally had the opportunity to go today.
We rented a two person kayak and took the 2 hour trip. It was so peaceful and beautiful. We only passed one house the whole time.
Craig did all the paddling and maneuvering. My paddle barely touched the water.
I just got to sit up front and enjoy the ride!
My feet never even got wet.
We'd like to go back in a few weeks when the colors are in all their glory.
Honey.... I think we should buy a kayak.

Your photographs made me feel like I was right there with you. Just beautiful.

Fun! That will be beautiful when the colors are changing!

Loved seeing these photos and Yes, yes, yes - you should buy a kayak!! Best thing I ever purchased! (Dicks sporting goods typically has good deals on them - especially the day after thanksgiving sale - I got mine 1/2 off.)

Looks like a great spot to return to for fall colors!

Pretty convincing argument to get one of those things, which I've wanted for a while. Nice, peaceful scenery! (I've been to the town, Dowagiac, and I know how to pronounce it!) And thanks for the tip, Shellmo - will have to check the ads around Thanksgiving.

Reminds me of canoeing down the C&O canal. It looks like such a wonderful time.
