    good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance
then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
