The LoCo Yak Shak will be stopping by the beaches of Veterans' Memorial Park to offer you weekly summer rentals and monthly trips. Together, our goal is to get more folks out and enjoying Lake Erie safely and responsibly! For a small fee, they will provide kayaks, life jackets and paddles. We are able to accommodate disabled paddlers so ask the LoCo Yaks about their bench and chariot. Appropriate attire required -- No cotton, no flip flops.
All ages welcome!
