Complete disregard for safety. We informed them of our inexperience paddle boarding yet they let us on with a windy forecast. Prior to going out we were assured they would keep an eye on us but they were no where to be seen. My daughter drifted so far out. I finally made it back to their dock and urged them to go out and get my daughter. They were mostly concerned with getting their boards and paddles of people who bailed due to the high winds. Thankfully my daughter was smart enough to paddle to a nearby dock and walk back to the shack. I expressed the safety concerns to the owners and told them they should check on people more often. He replied arrogantly that he was watching us the whole time but couldn’t answer why he didn't know where my daughter was. I wouldn’t want any parent to ever experience this.

Read moreWent here with 2 friends last week and had an amazing time! Beautiful area for kayaking. The owners were helpful and told us everything we needed to know. Once we were finished and about to leave, I tried starting my car and my battery was dead (which still couldn't ruin the awesome mood I was in from 2 peaceful hours on the water). The owner stopped what he was doing (they were about to close) and gave me a jump and we were on our way in minutes! Small gestures go a long way because I will not forget that. I'm going again tomorrow, with my step-daughter this time because I want to share this experience with her. Thank you Lakeview Docks for providing all of us with a way to get out, safely, on the water! Much...
