Our Programs

The Friends buy and donate to the park recreational equipment such as exercise equipment, kayaks, and canoes. We also pay for tools, materials, and vehicles needed by the park that their budget does not cover.

Read more about what we do

One of the park's most popular activities is paddling kayaks and canoes. Fourteen FLGSP members are park volunteers who lead both daytime and moonlight kayak eco-tours and teach Kayak 101 classes. Visitors register and pay for these tours on our web site, which allows park staff to focus their time on caring for the park's other visitors and resources. We hope you'll join us for an enjoyable and educational experience on the water!
