Help for a Kayak Beginner?

2 Replies

I would like to start kayaking. I mostly would like to kayak on still lakes and down slow moving rivers. I live in michigan so the weather is always changing.
What is a good beginners kayak I would like to spend under $500 if that’s possible. Is sit on the best bet or sit in. i’m 5’3 125lbs. So something I could easily move not too heavy and I dont want an inflatable. No whitewater for now, just take in scenic views and fishing. I would be kayaking by myself , i don’t want to join a club, is kayaking by yourself not recommended?

What are some fun things we can do camping?

Other than hiking, swimming, fishing and kayaking (that last one there are actually no rentals)

I have on the list:
Card games (whist, poker, etc)
Water gun fight
Scavenger hunt
Tabu
Guesstures

What are some other things we can do? No kiddie games, there will be adults 21 and up for this group camping trip.

Where is a good place to live in the US with low crime, kid friendly, and lots of outdoor activities?

We live in Oklahoma City now and just had a baby. I absolutely do not want to raise my daughter here there’s too much crime and nothing interesting to do. I don’t even feel safe taking her for walks here because of the crime. My husband and I are thinking of relocating, but we are not sure where would be perfect for us. We like to do stuff outdoors (fishing, biking, kayaking, etc). And our family lives in the midwest so it would be nice to be somewhat close, but not a necessity.
