4 Fun Things Kids Can Do at Falls Lake
June 24, 2016
It is officially summertime in North Carolina. Schools are out, the summer solstice has passed, and everyone is looking for a way to enjoy the beautiful weather. The team at Motor Boatin knows it can be tough with kids to know what activities they can enjoy that are also safe for them. Many families spend time at the Falls Lake, Jordan Lake or other local lakes in the Raleigh area. But, what water activities are safe for the kids? And what if they are too scared for water sports? 4 awesome activities that kids can enjoy while at Falls Lake are:- Renting a pontoon boat for the day is a great way for the entire family to spend a day together on the water. As long as parents are accompanying and monitoring children, it is one of the safest ways to enjoy Falls Lake.
- Falls Lake includes some wonderful hiking trails in the areas surrounding the lake. For adventurous and active children, hiking can be a great way to enjoy a summer day.
- Unlike Jordan Lake, Falls Lake is much less populated which makes certain areas of the lake great for fishing. This is another great activity that parents and kids will love to do together!
- Falls Lake has a great, dedicated swimming area that will allow for safe swimming including lifeguards on duty. While parents may want to be a little more active on the lake with jet skis or boat rentals, swimming is a great way to get kids comfortable with the lake.
