The above photo features a view we had last summer kayaking on Lake Brandt. It reminded us that we need to get out for some water time this summer. Greensboro has three lakes, north of the city; Lake Brandt, Lake Townsend, and Lake Higgins. It is possible to kayak on all three; and,  few times a year, night kayaking is offered (see schedule HERE). Whether you go out by day or night, kayaking on the lakes is great exercise and great fun.

Lake Brandt is a municipal reservoir that was originally built in 1925. It ws expanded in 1958.Lake Higgins was constructed in 1956, and Lake Townsend in 1969. Randleman Lake is the newest lake. While it was conceptualized and initiated in the 1930s, it was not completed until 2004 and officially opened for public recreation in 2010. See HERE for more information on Randleman Lake and Marina.  

See you on the water!
