A kayak is a small human-powered boat. It typically has a covered deck, and a cockpit covered by a spraydeck. It is propelled by a double-bladed paddle by a sitting paddler. The kayak was used by the native Ainu, Aleut and Eskimo hunters in sub-Arctic regions of northeastern Asia, North America and Greenland. Modern kayaks come in a wide variety of designs and materials for specialized purposes. Kayaks are in some parts of the world referred to as canoes. -- Wikipedia

The Kayak, like the canoe, also gives new meaning to the term "powerboat" because it is powered by muscle and the flow of the river. Also, like the canoe, when you kayak the Okatoma, you will enjoy communing with nature as the creek's clear waters carry you down the valey of trees.
