Kayak Connection launches promptly (weather permitting) every Saturday at 8 a.m. on most of the Fairfield Glade lakes. Times vary and are listed in the calendar below.
Patrons will need the annual Fairfield Glade boat sticker. Kayak rentals are available at the Marinas (for those lakes only).
Remember the safety guidelines: lake courtesy, check weather, bring water, hat, sunblock, water shoes, towel, sunglasses, ID, waterproof bag and wear a life vest. Patrons should indication their location to someone.
Patrons are responsible for getting themselves, their vehicle, gear and boat in/out of the lake. Please do not park on lake ra.m.ps. Plan to be out on the lakes for one to two hours.
Parking space is very limited at some of the lakes. Please be considerate when parking.
Some lake launch ramps can be a challenge to locate. Please do a search prior to launch day. Fairfield Glade administration can help you with directions. Lake Dartmoor has two launch docks: Marina (M) and Rotherham (R).
