Kayaking the Snake River

On Sunday August 13, 2017 we kayaked the Snake River.  They have a public ramp set up for kayaks to enter the river and it was easy to get the kayaks into the river and out of it.  We rented Bobby and Cindy a kayak so we did not have to take the big rubber duck kayak with us.  The river was not very hard to paddle although there was some wind that came up and it effected the return trip.  We kayaked to the Perrine Bridge and watched a few jumpers parachute from the bridge.  Apparently there is always a lot of people on the river in kayaks because they have you travel as though you were in a car.  Right side going down and left side coming back up the river.  They do this so the other boats have a place to travel back and forth without running over the kayakers.  If you do not follow these rules the Sheriff's department will issue you a ticket which cost about $86 dollars.  There is also a little know law that says you must have a non-motorized sticker for your kayak that we did not know about.  The sheriff's deputy was glad to explain that to me as he was giving me a warning ticket for not having one.
