Paddling: Washington Park Arboretum
There are a number of reasons I frequently paddle around the Washington Park arboretum. It is an easy route that anyone can do, it is fun to paddle under the freeway to access a wetland full of plant and animal life, I can invite anyone to come along because there is a convenient kayak rental at Agua Verde and after a couple of hours exploration I can get a beer and a taco at Agua Verde's Mexican cafe upstairs! What I usually do is find a parking spot at the paddle club and unload my boat while my friends get a rental. There is a (very small) public launch adjacent to the paddle club.
