There are various types of paddle boats. These boats have designs that allow for use in waters that are calm such as ponds and even rougher whitewater. A single person can paddle comfortably in calm waters but when in whitewater it’s necessary to have multiple people paddle the boat, unless of course you are using a kayak.

In order to conserve our environment, it is essential to follow eco-friendly boating practices. By following these environmentally safe guidelines, our waterways can be conserved for generations to come to share and enjoy. There are many different ways that boats can contribute to pollution. Marine engines contribute to ground level pollution by emitting hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide. The pollutants caused by marine engines impact humans directly because they cause respiratory inflammation. Lack of regular maintenance on a vessel can contribute to oil and gas leaks. The surrounding environment of a particular waterway can be infected by a single vessel through the transportation of evasive species from one body of water to another. While there are many ways a boat can contribute to pollution, there are many ways drivers can make their boating trips greener.
