Everyone, it seems, paddles — except you. Whatever the reason, you can see what all the fuss is about in the safe confines of Lake Lesa and the quiet waterway that explores the interior of the park. $6 for an hour’s worth of discovery. (If you have your own boat, ramps off Indian Creek Road and Baum Road let you explore the waters of Indian and Smith creeks, and Northwest River, which border the park.

Bittu AliThe SS127 is the best paddling, purpose-built fishing kayak on the market. The secondary stability is amazing, the glide and efficiency are best in class and all the tackle management features are in the most logical place.

Rich ChisholmThis is such a good value. A lightweight 1 person tent for a great price. I like it for solo missions to fish or for section hikes on the AT. With social distancing a thing, bringing your own tent on a trip with buddies makes a lot of sense.

Lee QuinnThe Kuhl Radikl pants are among the most versatile items in my closet – I’ve worn them for hiking, travel, work, and casual every-day wear…even the occasional amateur archeology dig! Comfortable, sharp-looking, and a design that moves with you and transitions from one activity to the next without taking a break!

Scott WoodThe Rydr is my favorite pant by far. The combination of the 10.8 oz fabric and the articulated knees gives me the best of both worlds – durablitlly and freedom of movement. The cell phone pocket is highly functional without looking silly. Great colors too.
