Water Activities With Paddle Boats

Paddle boats are a fun way to enjoy the water. There are two ways to enjoy paddle (or pedal) boats -- either on a calm lake or pond or in a more active way on the ocean. Pedal boats provide good exercise for the legs while enjoying fresh air and time on the water, and they are often available at resorts or can be purchased for individual use. They can seat two to five passengers, depending on the type of boat.
