Donna Swall, LOWA Executive Director, says the group’s main focus is to preserve the water quality of the lake. One of the most important elements of this goal is riprapping the shoreline. Riprapping helps to keep sediment out of the lake that can create a table for bacteria to grow. When hosting these kayaking clinics, LOWA members will not only teach participants the skills to kayak, but also the importance of riprap. Swall says that the easiest for them to teach this is by getting people on the water to see it up close and personal. She says their goal is to promote water quality and teach people to appreciate the best asset of the Ozarks.

Swall says that around a half dozen LOWA members will be present at each event and will be happy to teach everyone present. However, the event is also open to experienced kayakers who want to bring their own gear and simply enjoy the camaraderie. If there is a line of people waiting to get in the water, kayaking trips may be limited on time.

Swall says LOWA is excited to bring this opportunity back to the community and is thrilled to give people a great morning on the lake while also teaching about the science and importance of rip rapping.

“It’s been such a pleasure to work with folks around the lake,” Swall said.
