PADDLE INTO THE SUNSET
We begin with a leisurely sunset paddle under the Algonquin Bridge past island homes and boat houses, arriving at the sandy shoals of Sunfish Cut.

We take a short break here for photo opportunities and an optional short swim in the warm, shallow waters.

Torch Paddle LED Lighting System
LIGHT UP THE NIGHT!
As dusk falls, it’s time to light up your Torch Paddle! Each Torch Paddle features an LED lighting system built seamlessly right into the blade and shaft of the paddle providing a blazing 720 lumens of light. Lights shine on just one side of the blade; lighting up everything in front of you, without blinding you or those behind you.
