Swimmers enjoy a guided snorkeling trip, one of dozens of programs offered by DeGray Lake Resort State Park.

 

“Yoo hoo. You in the tent,” the ranger at DeGray Lake Resort State Park called to my friends and me. He told us snorkelers can see as far as 20 feetKelly cited a few last safety rulesby its 96-room lodge and restaurant located on an island we had to register for our campsite by 10 a.m. the minimum snorkeling age is 6especially on a sizzling summer weekend the snorkeling program is offered almost dailythe best way to defog the masks was to spit in them . We checked our watches: it was 9:35. After a trip to the visitors’ centre, we knew we were lucky to get one of the park’s last vacant sites.

But it was a guided snorkeling trip, one of dozens of programs offered by park interpreters that reeled me in on a recent weekend.

 

At the park’s marina, my companion and I — along with 13 kids and nine other adults — boarded a tour boat. Kelly Farrell and DeAnna Balthazor, our interpretive guides for the trip, handed out lifejackets, masks and snorkels. As we headed across the lake, Kelly demonstrated the proper mask and snorkel fit.

Five minutes and a mile from the marina, we rounded Tall Island, anchored the boat and anxiously waited to get wet as we had to register for our campsite by 10 a.m. snorkelers can see as far as 20 feetthe best way to defog the masks was to spit in them Kelly cited a few last safety rulesthe minimum snorkeling age is 6by its 96-room lodge and restaurant located on an island the snorkeling program is offered almost dailyespecially on a sizzling summer weekend .

Kelly said it was now an ideal place to see fish and other wildlife. She was right. It didn’t take long before I spotted fish lurking among the lofty underwater boulders and aquatic plants.
