From 2012 to 2022 we had a kayaking group, all experienced paddlers with their own kayaks and the ability to transport their boats to the launch sites. Our group was quite active and paddled on low-wind days near Kin Beach, Kye Bay and Goose Spit, in the Courtenay River and Campbell River Estuaries, McIver Lake, Comox Lake and Spider Lake.
We all paddle at our own risk. Kayakers should be able to wet-exit and self-rescue with the assistance of other paddlers. The leader should know how to read weather and water conditions, and how to direct an assisted rescue. (Comox Valley Kayaks and Canoes offers rescue lessons should a group of paddlers like to learn together.)
