Kayaking is a fun and peaceful way to enjoy the water, but safety should always come first. Before launching, always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket—even if you’re a strong swimmer. Make sure your kayak is in good condition, with no cracks or leaks, and that you bring a paddle leash, whistle, and waterproof phone case in case of emergency.

Check the weather forecast and avoid kayaking in high winds or storms. Stay close to shore, especially if you’re a beginner or paddling with kids. Know your limits, and never paddle alone if you’re unfamiliar with the water.

Follow local rules and watch for boat traffic. If you’re kayaking on Lake Anna, stay outside of marked boating lanes and make yourself visible by wearing bright colors or using a flag.

Hydrate, wear sunscreen, and let someone know your expected return time. Taking a basic paddling or water safety course can also boost your confidence and readiness.

At Pleasants Landing, we provide kayaks to help ensure your outing is both enjoyable and secure. With the right preparation, kayaking is a safe and unforgettable way to explore Lake Anna.
