Sea kayak this huge lake, camp along it’s shores, munch on huckleberries, and gaze at the snow-covered volcanoes in the distance. This trip includes a number of great hikes to surrounding mountains and waterfalls, so bring your hiking boots! You’ll camp beside the lake, and carry everything you need in your kayaks.
