Jenkinson Lake
MVP
Aqua Xtreme X2 Packraft—It was so cool to blow up the packraft and just carry the 6 lbs packraft down to the lake. I didn’t have to fret about blowing up the packraft next to the water with all the pointy rocks.
Lake Review:
Lake Jenkinson has a prominent finger, which is where we were. The speed limit is 5mph on the finger of the lake, which makes it an awesome environment for kayaking.
There was no wind, and the lake was very calm for the 24 hours we were there.
We were on the lake for less than 1/2 a mile because my eldest got motion sickness.
There was no boat launch at the beach we hiked to, but it was easy getting in and out of the boat.
What I Learned:
I think before every boating session, I should give Dramamine to my eldest so that she doesn’t get motion sickness.
I no longer struggle with moving the packraft in a straight line. I kind of got used to the no-skeg life with this boat.
What Happened?
.29 miles, 34 min, no wind
We got to the lake for a morning paddle session, but my eldest got motion sickness after I paddled to the opposite side of the lake. After a few minutes of sitting and waiting on the shore, she wasn’t feeling much better, so we paddled back to the starting point and hiked back up to the campsite.
