What's best for you?

A recreational kayak is typically classified as a stable kayak with a large cockpit which provides easy entry and exit. Best suited for smaller, sheltered bodies of water, and perfect for day trips. 

Light touring kayaks share many features with touring kayaks - storage hatches, rudder or skeg, and deck rigging - however, the overall length of a light-touring kayak is between 14' and 15'...perfect for day touring on large lakes and multi-day trips.

With so many different kayaks available, it's important to choose the right kayak for the type of paddling you're going to do. Adirondack Lakes & Trails Outfitters has a complete selection of kayaks suitable for a week-long trip or a leisurely two-hour paddle to your favorite swimming spot. Our aim is to simplify the kayak selection process and get you into the perfect kayak.
