Come join me on June 13th for a beginners kayak trip on beautiful Lake Robinson in Greer, SC.  You will need to rent your kayak from Cole's Bait Shop and Kayak Rental -  https://www.colesbaitshop.com/ across the street from Lake Robinson dock. If you bring your own boat, you will need a lake permit - https://www.greercpw.com/lakes-recreation/#permits-rentals. You must rent before the event to ensure you have a boat.  Saturday rentals in the summer can be tricky so be sure to rent before the event to ensure that you have a kayak. Below are the rental rates.

Single: $40/day sit on top
Tandem: $60/day sit on top for 2 people

The Sierra Club will be participating in the Discover Your Watershed the weekend before on Lake Cunningham - another local lake.  You will be able to try out their lake kayaks at this event.  

See description of the Lake below. 

Lake Robinson is an 800-acre lake located just outside Greer, SC, offering a peaceful retreat for outdoor enthusiasts.

It’s a serene location ideal for relaxation and outdoor activities.

Boating is also a favorite activity, with ample space for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats to explore the lake.

Picnic areas provide a place for visitors to relax, enjoy a meal, and take in the serene surroundings.

Conveniently located near downtown Greer, Lake Robinson is the perfect spot for a day out in nature, whether you’re fishing, boating, hiking, or simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. Its natural beauty and outdoor recreation options make it a popular destination for both locals and visitors.
