Kayak Instruction
Join the Eastern Mountain Sports Kayak School at Hopkinton State Park for Kayak Instruction. This location is perfect for individuals, couples and families to get out and experience kayaking. Bring your own kayak or use one of ours. Our programs include the use of all equipment needed for a fun and safe experience out on the water!
Hopkinton State Park contains 1450 acres and with its fresh water reservoir and its sheltered coves it's a great location for protected Kayak instruction. The town of Hopkinton is a beautiful New England community with 14,000 residents, just 30 miles west of Boston, 45 minutes north of Providence, two hours east of the Berkshires, and one hour north of Cape Cod. Within twenty miles of Hopkinton State Park there are many locations for extensive trail riding, rock-climbing, mountain biking (the infamous Vietnam trail is only five minutes away) hiking and lake swimming.
