If you are looking to hang out on the water with your family, then pedal boating at Inspiration Lake is a great group experience. Bring your kids or younger siblings along and rent a two-seater or four-seater pedal boat from the Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre. Inspiration Lake is also a beautiful spot for picnicking with your loved ones and your friends, so pack a picnic basket for lunch to make the most of your day.
