Guys I have been looking into play boating.
Question.
What is the minimum depth of water a small playboat/kayak can use to get down a creek?
We have a small creek by my home. I think it would be great fun to get a boat and the kids and I raft the creek.
Most places it is 12" or more. But there are some areas through the ripples that it gets to 3 to 4" deep.
Are there any boats that can be used in this capacity?
Small slow creeks. Small kids. shallow draft?

Interested in the sport
Thanks
