Can I swim or kayak in the canals?
Question
Can I swim or kayak in the canals?
Answer
It is not recommended that anyone swim in the canals. There is a variety of wildlife in the canals that could be dangerous as well as health concerns associated with warm, stagnant water.
The use of gas-powered watercraft is prohibited in the freshwater canals, but it is permitted in saltwater canals. Many residents do enjoy kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding in our canal system.
