Making Memories on the Water

May 22, 2022 | Blog

TopSide Marinas is about creating lifelong memories. So, in this blog, we have brought you a list of some family activities enjoyable in, on, and by the lake!

 

1.  The Classic: Lake Swimming

Swimming might seem too much of an obvious activity to be worth mentioning in this list, but we assure you swimming in the lake waters is nothing like the pool. The beautiful clear waters that don’t smell like chorine provides a sense of peace and relaxation, making it a great experience. Swimming in the open waters offers a space for endless possibilities of fun. Surrounded by natural trees and landscape, lake swimming can be a great way for younger children to discover the natural environment they live in.

 

2.  Jet Skiing

Feel the thrills of jet skiing on the lake! This high-speed water sport is great during the hot summers for the fresh wind blows as you ride. If you don’t like swimming, jet skiing is a great alternative activity. Children may ride the jet ski along with an adult, so it is an activity that can be enjoyed by the whole family.  And as a bonus, jet-skiing helps with your coordination, balance, and even burns calories!

 

3.  Fishing

Lake fishing can be a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and learn a new skill. It is an activity that can be enjoyed by anyone of all ages. Fishing can teach children patience, endurance, and a sense of reward to catching a fish after a long wait.

 

4.  Stand up paddleboarding

Lose weight, get in shape, relax, and enjoy yourself with kids! Paddleboarding is a very safe and low-impact sport. Once you get used to the basics, there are loads of fun things to do while you’re on the board such as yoga, meditation, fishing, and sunbathing.

5.  Houseboat Vacation

If you want to spend time near the lake for more than just a couple of hours, a houseboat vacation might be right for you. The peaceful lake can be enjoyed in the comforts of the houseboat that is private to your family and friends, avoiding the large crowds of people. It will be like a lake house but on the water- how cool is that!

 

6.  Picnics and Nature Scavenger Hunts

Not a fan of getting in the water? Then a picnic by the lake can be just as refreshing. Even in the summer, the lake breeze under the shade can keep you nice and cool. A nature scavenger hunt will keep the children busy while the adults enjoy a cup of coffee in the slowness. If you want to get fancy, a picnic on a boat can add a new set of adventures to your memory jar.
