It's kayak day at Purtis Creek State Park Aug. 9.
Free kayak classes will be held that Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. You can take your own kayak with you or use one of the park's kayaks. The class will focus on getting use to kayaks and paddling them. Games will be played.
Wear clothing that you don't mind getting wet and meet at the boat ramp. The class is free with paid admission to the park at the entrance.
After you learn how to paddle a kayak, return to the park at 8:30 p.m. for a guided tour of the coves of Purtis Creek. The tour cost is $12 per person for use of a park kayak or you can take your own kayak.
Reservations are required for the morning kayak class, and reservations and pre-payment are required for the night tour. Call 903-425-2332 or email [email protected].
