I live in missouri and there are all kind of rivers. About five years ago. We went canoeing, but end up liking kayaking.
Have you ever kayaked and did you like it?
I just learned how to kayak a couple weeks ago, but I really loved it (despite the $101 ticket I got for not wearing a life jacket). Now I wear my life jacket and scoot around in Smith Mountain Lake on a weekly basis and love it!
