Cost is $40/boat (bring your own or we’ll supply you one) with check or money order made out to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Lunch provided. All monies raised go towards future programming at Cook Forest State Park. Participants must pre-register by 3/6/26 by calling the park office. Prior kayak training participants receive a 50% discount. Safety is of utmost importance. All participants must have the following required safety equipment or will not be permitted to attend: dry suit or dry top/bottom combination, cold weather boots, waterproof gloves, waterproof stow bag, complete change of clothes.
