Princeton Canoe & Kayak

A great way to spend a few hours on a nice day in Princeton is to go out on the canal in a kayak or a canoe.

The canal isn't very wide, and you're given a lifevest just in case. Most times you can see turtles sunning themselves on logs, and various types of birds (OK, I don't know my birds, but these were not your typical ones).

In the summer it's open from 11am to 5pm on weekdays, and 11am to 7pm on weekends and holidays. You can get a canoe for $12 for the first hour and $6 each addditional (or $35 for the whole day). They also have kayaks for either $9 or $11 the first hour and $5 or $6 each additional, and $25 and $30 all day, respectively. Two-person kayaks are $14/first hour, $6 additional hours, and $40/day.

If it's hot out, bring water and wear sunscreen, and leave those cellphones in the car...
