Optional Rest Stop

Both solo routes include access to an optional stop located at the campgrounds inside Lakepoint State Park. This stop is approximately halfway through the 3-mile route and just over 4 miles into the 6-mile route. Guests may take a short break, refill water bottles, and use the restroom facilities before continuing their paddle.

Because solo trips are self-guided, guests should be comfortable exiting and re-entering their kayak independently, including getting the kayak in and out of the water at this stop. If assistance is needed at any point during the trip, guests are always welcome to call our staff for pickup or additional help.

Know Before You Go

Solo kayak trips give guests the freedom to paddle at their own pace through the scenic waterways of Lake Eufaula and Cowikee Creek. Because these trips are self-guided, trip times can vary depending on your route, paddling pace, weather conditions, wildlife stops, and how long you choose to relax along the way. Please review the following information before your trip.


Safety Requirements

Participants must be at least 8 years old. Guests under 18 must have a parent or guardian complete the required waiver.

Basic swimming ability is required for all solo kayak trips.

Guests should be comfortable paddling independently and getting in and out of their kayak without assistance if needed.

Please notify our staff of any medical conditions or concerns before your trip begins.


What to Bring

Arrive well-rested and hydrated.

Bring any necessary medications with you.

Wear comfortable clothing that can get wet.

Please wear sunscreen, even if you do not think you will need it. Sun exposure on the water can be stronger than expected.

You may also want to bring or purchase a snack and extra drinks from the Kayak Eufaula Outfitter before your trip, especially for longer paddles or warmer days on the water.




Kayak Fit & Weight Guidelines

For guest safety and comfort, kayak fit and weight limits are taken seriously. Single kayaks are generally best suited for guests under 300 lbs. Guests over 300 lbs may be better suited for a tandem kayak depending on fit, balance, and comfort.

For safety reasons, guests over 350 lbs may not participate in solo kayak trips. These guidelines help reduce the risk of tipping, instability, or difficulty safely navigating the waterways independently.
