Plan around the shore, not assumptions
A lake, river or wetland can be a landscape stop without requiring a water activity. Ask which shoreline or viewing point can be visited. Boats, birding, walking and other activities must be agreed for the particular location.
Before you visit
Do not assume swimming, boating or drinking from the water is safe or permitted. Confirm water conditions, authorised operators and any required protective equipment before an activity.
