We'll picnic "out back" in the phragmite bay. Bring your own lunch or purchase a bag lunch!

Tickets are available to rent one of our kayaks or bring your own!

Opt in for a bag lunch if you'd like us to cater it for you.

*NOTE: For those who would like to bring their own boats, traditional or PVC kayaks perform best in the waters of Laurel Hill. It is recommended that foldable kayaks be models that are specified as suitable for choppy water. Not every foldable kayak is appropriate or sturdy enough for live current/choppy water paddling. Inflatable kayaks are generally not recommended as they could risk puncture in the tall grasses and may be hindered if the wind gusts. If unsure, we recommend you rent one of ours.

Refund policy: We do not honor refunds for No-Shows. If you cannot make your date/time we can transfer your ticket to another date with advance notice. If you wish to get a refund for a date you cannot attend, we require you contact us at least 24 hours beforehand. If weather is inclement (thundertorms, high winds) we will refund you the night before or within 2 hours of your timeslot.
