The kayak project also included installing new

Along with a safe avenue into the water,
Plymouth Harbor introduced a kayak loan
program.

“The inception of our kayak loan program
also allows so many others to experience
the healing powers of the water,” continued
Summer.

The loan program was made possible by
three residents who donated their kayaks to the
