Ride Along The Rivers With Fort Wayne Outfitters

I was able to play on the St. Mary’s River on my last visit to Fort Wayne, and took a kayak out. My favorite thing? The special dock launch that they have – it literally makes getting in and out of the water a breeze, not to mention being perfectly handicap accesible. I have always looked like those after pictures in the kayak training videos, stumbling my way out, and these made me look like a pro.

The river is fairly calm, so it is a perfect venture for newer kayakers, or younger ones. I enjoyed a leisurly jaunt past the park, over by the nesting birds, and passing the old fort. It was so relaxing, and a comfortable pace.

The hardest part of the trip was deciding which of the colorful kayaks I wanted to use. I love how they saved space and creatively stored them while they weren’t in use. They are all hung up by the one end, under the walking bridge.
