Paddle the Lake

Do you want to learn more about navigating Squam Lake? Are you camping on our public islands and want to get more comfortable navigating a canoe with camping supplies? Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on an out and back paddle to Moon and Bowman islands on Saturday, July 26th from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm. During our paddle we’ll go over how to navigate open water, identify the Squam islands, learn how safely canoe, and explore the islands trails and beaches.
