Table Rock Lake is the crown jewel of Ozark lake paddling. This 43,000-acre reservoir on the White River straddles the Missouri-Arkansas border with 800 miles of wooded shoreline, deep coves, and remarkably clear water.

The Apostle Islands on Lake Superior are home to some of the most dramatic sea cave kayaking in North America. Twenty-one islands and 12 miles of mainland shoreline feature sculpted sandstone caves, arches, and pillars carved by waves over thousands of years.

The New River Gorge, America's newest national park (designated 2020), is the whitewater capital of the eastern United States. The New River carves a 1,000-foot deep gorge through the Appalachian Plateau, creating world-class rapids from Class I to Class V.

Acadia National Park on Maine's Mount Desert Island offers a unique blend of ocean sea kayaking and tranquil freshwater pond paddling. Granite headlands, cobblestone beaches, and spruce-fir forests line Frenchman Bay, while the park's interior holds crystal-clear ponds surrounded by mountains.

Broken Bow Lake in southeastern Oklahoma's Ouachita Mountains is one of the clearest lakes in the south-central United States. Fed by the Mountain Fork River, this 14,000-acre reservoir sits in a rare pocket of pine-covered mountains that feels more like the Ozarks than the Oklahoma plains.

Glacier National Park and the surrounding Flathead Valley offer paddling against a backdrop of jagged peaks, ancient glaciers, and some of the cleanest water in the lower 48. Flathead Lake — the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi — anchors the region, while alpine lakes within the park provide short but unforgettable paddle experiences.
