Swedesboro Lake Park, situated on Lake Narraticon, played host to two hugely popular kayaking events this summer.  The kayaking events which are sponsored by S/W Environmental Commission and Municipal Alliance work in conjunction with Splash & Paddle, a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to teaching people about kayaking, canoeing and water safety.

Splash & Paddle and other volunteers bring dozens of kayaks, canoes and life vests to the lake for a full day of paddling around for anyone that wants to give it a try!

The two events held in July and August averaged around 300 participants from all around South Jersey.

It wasn’t all boating on the water, however. The event also included a lot of backyard fun to enjoy while waiting or taking a break from kayaking. Participants could have some fun with bubbles and water guns, bean bag toss games or chow down on some hot dogs and hamburgers from Logan Lunchbox.

This August, the event introduced a new portion to a great day at the lake. South Jersey Fly Fishers set up to teach people about fly fishing and offer them an opportunity to tie and cast a fly!
