River Kayaking Lessons
Kayaking Lessons on the Mighty Schuylkill River with Top Water Trips. Exploring nature in a kayak is a healthy and fun way to enjoy the outdoors. Our Kayaking Lesson/ Course begins with a brief introduction and safety talk from your guide and instructor. We will outfit you with a personal flotation device (PFD), kayak, and paddling equipment, and teach you everything we know about setting up your kayak. Then, you’ll receive instruction on a variety of paddling techniques.
Moving water always adds variety to your kayaking lessons and there is nothing more soothing than floating through the swift and scenic waterways of the Schuylkill River System. Read our River Kayaking Tips below and book a River Kayaking Lesson today. All necessary gear and instructions will be provided on-site! Gain the confidence to kayak safely and efficiently on Class I & II River systems! We run most of our trips out of the Reading/Berks County Areas of the Schuylkill River
River Kayaking Tips
Get Educated
Call the local livery to see if they offer guided trips or get in touch with a kayak school for some beginner river kayaking lessons.
River Reading
When beginners look at a river, they just see moving water. But with some training, you’ll be able to recognize changes in current from afar, submerged rocks and trees (strainers), and places where it’s safe to rest and regroup (eddies are usually a good spot).
Tag-Along
If you’re paddling a river for the first time, go with a friend who has paddled the river before. Whether or not they’re an expert, you can at least rely on them for the inside scoop as you paddle.
Check the Weather Before You Go.
