Adaptive Kayaking

Our adaptive kayaking program allows you to get out on the water and experience the maximum amount of independence while soaking in the sights and sounds of nature. 

Our lead kayak instructors are trained in ACA Adaptive Paddling and have the ability to adapt the kayaks with additional equipment to accommodate a variety of needs. With programs located in Atlanta and Knoxville we are able to provide access to the Tennessee River as well as the Chattahoochee. 

​
