Swatara Creek Might Just Be The Best Place For Beginner Kayakers In Pennsylvania
A leisurely day on the water can be so good for the soul. We have a ton of waterways – rivers, lakes, and creeks – that are perfect for boating, canoeing, and kayaking. Even if you’ve never kayaked before, for example, you won’t have much trouble, if any, when you slip your kayak into Swatara Creek, perhaps the best place for beginner kayakers in Pennsylvania.
Embark on what promises to be the first of many kayaking adventures along Swatara Creek with Cocoa Kayaks of Hershey, a popular outfitter that offers “gentle creek kayaking.”
While you don’t need any experience to kayak with Cocoa Kayaks of Hershey, you’ll find that you quickly get the hang of this popular water sport. The staff offers both instruction and support, especially for beginners.
If you prefer more instruction time, sign up for the one-hour beginner’s paddle. It features a guide as you make your first paddle down what’s considered the gentle Swatara Creek.
Cocoa Kayaks of Hershey offers a fun and seamless kayaking experience, beginning with everyone on the tour meeting at a designated site. From there, you’ll join other kayakers and staff on the shuttle ride to your launch destination.
Choose from one of five kayaking tours – four take 2 hours while the fifth lasts 3 hours. The three-hour Bald Eagle Run is perfect if you want to spot bald eagles as you paddle along Swatara Creek.
For a picturesque kayak paddle just a few minutes from Hersheypark, sign up for the Boathouse Run Paddle. The two-hour tour passes such natural beauty as colorful wildflowers, stone beaches, and fishing holes.
