Kayak Academy is taking registrations for its annual spring nature tour along the shores of Lake Sammamish, March 17 and March 24.

A professional kayak guide leads the two-hour tour along the shore and up a portion of Issaquah Creek. A state park ranger will present an on-the-water program about the great blue heron. In addition to the herons, participants frequently see a variety of waterfowl and raptors such as bald eagles and red-tailed hawks.

Registration fee is $12 per person. Kayak rentals are $12 for a single, sit-on-top kayak, or $15 for a double or triple kayak.

Free dry suits and life vests will be provided to all participants to use on the tour. Dress for the weather and wear footwear that can get wet.

Pre-registration is required. Call Kayak Academy at 206-527-1825. Lake Sammamish State Park is located at 2000 N. Sammamish Road, Issaquah.
