Nothing brings out paddlers like warm temperatures and fresh spring air.
Those enjoying Nebraska’s water bodies and water trails through May are urged to be cautious as air temperatures are rising, but the water is still cold and can be dangerous.
To stay safe, follow these Nebraska Game and Parks safety tips for paddlers:
Game and Parks also reminds paddlers that every kayak or canoe on the state’s waters must have one U.S. Coast Guard-approved lifejacket of suitable size and readily accessible for each person on board. Each child on board age 12 and under must wear a properly sized lifejacket, as do paddleboard users of all ages.
