Great list! Would it be possible to post an interactive map with pins for each location? Would also allow us to contribute
Hi, we tried to paddleboard at Split Rock yesterday and the police stopped us and said we couldn’t because people with paddleboards “were using them as swimming rafts and we don’t allow swimming.”
It would be awesome to have a list of paddle locations for kayaking vs paddleboarding. I know some of these locations do not allow paddleboarding but do allow kayaking.
