long island paddle sports

This place opened up this year and seem to do a brisk business, especially on weekends. I drive by there frequently and see a lot of kayakers and paddle boarders on the water. One of our family members rented a paddle board to use while visiting and was very pleased with the arrangements. We live on the water, so they brought the paddle board and enjoyed it in our area of the lake. But the rental place is located in a nice area for kayaking and paddle boarding, being right at the Buffalo Shoals bridge. There are several shallow bays and creeks nearby for exploring by kayak. Boat traffic is not as busy near the bridge, making for calmer water. The owner lives nearby and is pleasant to deal with and has a good working knowledge of the water features in the vicinity for those not familiar with the area.

I stopped at Long Island Paddlesports to ask about parking my vehicle there and paddling Lake Norman. Then Frank told me about Balls Creek, the falls, and Murray's Mill Historic Site. I had no idea they existed. He also offered other paddle site information and after talking with him I decided our Meetup Group just HAD to check these sites out. His Brother Adam helped our group out with rentals at a very reasonable price and had nice, stable, single kayaks, tandem Kayaks, and SUPs. After the paddle Adam suggested a local restaurant which was superb. I strongly recommend Long Island Paddlesports for a great day on the water. "The Rat"
