This trip is a great option for those adventurers with limited time. It is also a normally flat water trip, making it a great choice for families with small children or those wanting a relaxing paddle, away from seas and open water. Bear Lake is located just outside Seward, Alaska, and is about 4 mi. from our front door. We love Bear Lake because of the normally flat calm waters we find when while kayaking there. This a great option for a family with small kids, or big kids that do not want the challenge of kayaking in the ocean. Kayak or canoe on this scenic local lake with our fun-loving guides - which is also home to Sockeye salmon! We stop on the way to visit the salmon weir and learn about their life cycle.
