Canoe paddlers have more ponds and river systems, over three hundred, than they could explore in a lifetime. And while it may be a bit windy, it is usually calmer at dawn and dusk, the best time in a canoe. Don't overlook the saltmarshes, miles of shallow water, shore birds and barrier beaches offer the canoeist a ready escape and easy travel if you judge the tides right. The canoe is probably the best choice for inland boat on the Cape. Even the largest ponds are small enough to circumnavigate in a few hours and a few have small interconnections to other ponds and rivers most easily explored by a shallow running canoe.
Rentals are also available.
The Kayak may be the ultimate tool in the maritime community. The more adventuresome might dare the surf if their eskimo roll technique is sufficiently good. With the exception of breaking waves, the Kayak has the run of the Cape despite wind, tide or current. In addition to travel and exploration, the Kayak is a very effective base for waterfowling and fishing , just about anywhere and anytime . A local guide may be just the ticket to show you around at first or lead you to the action.
