Sea Kayaking Overnight

A two day kayaking trip on a lake in a remote wilderness setting with one night of primitive camping. The trip is self-sustaining in that all food, water, camping equipment and other gear are carried in the kayaks. The distance paddled is approximately 4 to 5 miles the first day and 10 to 12 miles the second day.
