|By Jenny Sung Are you looking for a place to kick off your shoes, grab a paddle, and hit the water this summer? Whether you’re stand-up paddleboarding (SUP’ing) at sunrise, or canoeing and kayaking with friends, there is no shortage of awesome lakes to choose from in the Tri-Cities area. The best part? You don’t need a car to get to them. Transit can take you there and rentals for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards are available on location.
