Any opportunities to kayak near Breckenridge, Colorado? My wife and I will be attending a family reunion there the week of July 9-16. The Mapquest map shows a couple of lakes, especially a good-sized one about 5 miles north of Breckenridge. If I can't find "sea" kayaking, I might take some whitewater lessons, just to be out on the water and learning something new. Any suggestions on boat rentals or places to go? Both my wife and I are very inexperienced. I've demoed a few boats and taken a couple of classes in Santa Cruz, CA, when I visited my sister there. My wife and I both took a two-hour pool lesson in rolling a sea kayak, which was fun but didn't make us proficient in any way. This is her only kayaking experience. We're both pretty good at flat-water canoeing. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions. -Kevin Zembower -- kevinz_at_charm.net Kevin Zembower *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
Kevin, There is a small reservoir adjacent Breckenridge called Dillon Lake, in Dillon. They have quite a fleet of sea kayaks for rent. If you can't find the #, I can get it for you.

Kevin, It just so happens that the Rocky Mountain Sea Kayak Club Is having a overnight trip to Dillon reservoir July 15 & 16. 2 Day paddles are planned so you are more than welcome to come by and paddle. All levels of experience should be represented. Give me a shout if you want more details. Have a great trip if your don't make it by.
