Paddle on Lake Arthur
Moraine State Park offers a plethora of activities during the summer months, but none so niche as stand-up paddle boarding.
Ian Smith, owner of SurfSUP Adventures, said Moraine State Park is a busy location for the paddle board tour company. With 12 years experience on Lake Arthur, they offer eco-tours, glow-in-the-dark tours, and group tours during the summer season.
“Moraine is such a great area, there’s a variety of life and natural settings so you can disconnect from everything in the clean water,” he said. “That’s our No.1 location.”
Smith said to go on a tour, you need no previous experience. Tour guides provide the equipment and a quick lesson to get folks acquainted with the board before setting out on the water adventure.
“Whether it’s your first time or you’re experienced, people will enjoy it,” he said. “We take (people) to different wildlife and plant life in the park and then give them time to explore on their own.”
