Fun on the Lake - Water Activities at Huckleberry Acres

Few things capture the essence of summer like a day at the lake. The gentle lapping of the water, the sun warming your skin, and the endless possibilities for adventure make it the perfect escape from the daily grind. If you’re looking for an action-packed (or blissfully lazy) day by the water, we’ve got the scoop on some of the best ways to enjoy the lake. Plus, we’ll tell you why Huckleberry Acres Campground is the perfect getaway when you need some fun in the sun.

A lake day is all about making the most of the water, whether you’re after high-energy excitement or a peaceful float. Here are some top activities to enjoy, no matter your style.


Paddleboarding: A Workout Disguised as Fun

Paddleboarding is a fantastic way to explore Huckleberry Lake (or any other lake) while getting a solid workout. Whether you prefer to stand, kneel, or sit, it’s an easy activity to pick up. The key is balance—keep your knees slightly bent and your core engaged, and you’ll be gliding across the water in no time. 

Bonus: It’s a great excuse to fall into the water if the summer heat gets too intense. If you don’t have your own board, no worries—rentals are available at Huckleberry Acres, making it easy to get started.


Canoeing: The Classic Lake Adventure

Canoeing is a great choice if you want to take things at a more relaxed pace. Grab a partner, pack a small cooler, and paddle your way through the lake’s serene surroundings. It’s an excellent way to spot wildlife, explore hidden inlets, or just float aimlessly while solving all of life’s problems (or deciding what’s for dinner). 

Don’t have a canoe? Rentals are available for those as well, so you can hit the water without the hassle of transporting your own boat.


Swimming: Because It’s Not a Lake Day Without It

You don’t need fancy equipment to have fun on the lake—sometimes, the best plan is simply jumping in. Whether you’re perfecting your cannonball technique, racing friends along the shoreline, or just cooling off, swimming is a must. 

Pro tip: Water shoes can help you avoid any unexpected encounters with rocks on the bottom of the lake.


Inflatable Water Playground: Big Fun for All Ages

If you think inflatable water parks are just for kids, think again. Huckleberry Acres Lake features huge inflatable structures perfect for climbing, sliding, and bouncing your way across. This obstacle course is a surprisingly entertaining (and occasionally humbling) way to enjoy the water, especially if you’ve got a competitive streak. Challenge your friends or family to see who can make it through without taking an unexpected dip.

Things to Do on the Lake

  • Sunscreen is your best friend. Even if it’s cloudy, the reflection off the water will get you. Don’t let your lake day turn into a sunburn recovery mission.
  • Hydration matters. Spending hours in the sun and water can be exhausting. Pack plenty of water to keep yourself feeling great all day.
  • Secure your belongings. Waterproof bags or floating keychains can save you from the heartbreak of losing your phone, keys, or sunglasses to the depths of the lake.
  • Respect the lake. Follow local guidelines, avoid littering, and be mindful of other lake-goers so everyone can enjoy the water.
