The Evolution of Kayaking and Access for All
Think about how popular canoeing and kayaking have become over the last several years. With the increase of rails to trails and greenways spreading across our country, people’s interest in connecting with nature is real. The popularity of water trails, kayaking, and canoeing is on the rise, and communities and local governments are recognizing and responding to a growing desire to connect with the outdoors. Nature enthusiasts want to recreate on the water; therefore, access to the water where everyone can participate is being looked at differently.
People enjoy traveling and sightseeing but also value close-to-home recreation spots where they can go for a quick paddle after work, or a nearby location to take their family on the weekend. Before kayak launches became popular, we had to drag our kayaks over stones and steep embankments and struggled to get our vessels into the water. We got muddy and wet, banged our shins, and tipped our kayaks when launching our vessels into the water.
With BoardSafe’s Accessible and Adaptive Launch, universal access features provide safe and easy access to the water for all who wish to get out and paddle. The launch’s universal design accommodates paddlers in wheelchairs and makes launching vessels easier for younger, older, and novice paddlers, those with physical conditions, limited mobility, and even lower body paralysis. BoardSafe’s launch offers safe and easy access for all. The innovative launch makes paddling fun and helps improve the paddling experience for all paddlers looking to access the water.
Outdoor enthusiasts rave about the brilliance of BoardSafe's accessibility. The durability and design features of the BoardSafe Adaptive Kayak Launch mean it can be described as the best universal access kayak launch on today’s market. One park director commented, “We had our state grant inspection yesterday and the inspector reported BoardSafe’s Launch was the best canoe/kayak launch they’ve ever seen.” Everyone knows that getting in and out of a kayak or canoe is often the most difficult part of the sport. With BoardSafe’s signature features, designed with input from a group of adaptive paddlers and professionals who support them, our innovative aluminum floating dock system has proven to be the best commercial launching system available to communities and parks looking for improved accessibility.
Research from Outdoor Industry
The economic, recreational, and environmental benefits of investing in and improving access for all are now recognized. Recent research from the Outdoor Industry reflects the sport’s surge in popularity. The Outdoor Recreation Economy Report identifies outdoor recreation as one of our nation's largest economic sectors. According to this report, outdoor recreation generates $887 billion in consumer spending annually, 7.6 million American jobs, $65.3 billion in federal tax revenue, and $59.2 billion in state and local tax revenue.
The Economic Impact of Parks and Rivers
Parks and rivers have become powerful economic drivers for communities. Policymakers, elected officials, and parks and recreation professionals have noticed how investments improve the standard of living. There is compelling evidence of the positive impacts in the tourism, hotel, restaurant, and recreation industries. The investment in an accessible kayak launch—particularly one built of non-corroding aluminum, composite lumber, non-polluting flotation, and stainless steel—will pay dividends to communities for years to come.
Benefits of Creating More Access Points to Our Rivers
With outdoor recreation growing and being one of our largest economic contributors, creating accessible water access points will benefit local communities. Why is this true? Because people of all abilities are hooked on paddle sports. When you step into a kayak and take those first few paddle strokes, nature surrounds you. It’s easy to understand how nature’s draw pulls people to the water.
Paddling and kayak fishing have become everyone’s favorite hobbies and sought-after forms of outdoor recreation. Kayaking is an inclusive activity that offers paddlers with disabilities the opportunity to be out on the water like everyone else.

Our projects are individualized to meet our customers' needs and site requirements. Since no two waterfront projects are the same, we share our understanding of site requirements to ensure accessibility. Our experience and specialization are unmatched by anyone else in the marine industry.
Everyone Benefits
It's a common misconception that an accessible kayak launch is ONLY intended for people with mobility impairments. The truth is that an accessible launch benefits the entire community and assists people of all abilities with accessing the water. Able-bodied paddlers love an accessible launch because it offers a simple and dry way to enter the water. BoardSafe’s launch also helps novice paddlers and families with young children learn how to enter a kayak and paddle safely. The accessibility features also benefit people with minor impairments, such as a bad knee or hip.
How Does the Launch Attract More Paddlers?
Nearly 20% of the U.S. population live with a form of disability, and approximately 12% live with a mobility disability. This is a sizable portion of our population who still want to enjoy recreating on the water with family and friends. This is why the features of the BoardSafe launch have such an appeal. Our universal design features will enhance your waterfront and provide access for all people who wish to get out and paddle with family and friends. Your investment in our accessible product line—built of aluminum, composite lumber, non-polluting flotation, and stainless steel—is virtually maintenance-free and will pay dividends to communities for years to come.
Contact BoardSafe Docks at 610-899-0286 for more information on your solution for inclusive access with universal design features and to learn more about the unique projects we have designed and built that no other dock builders are capable of.

How does the launch attract more paddlers?
BoardSafe Docks recently installed a launch in Canton, New York. When we asked the parks director how the launch affected kayaking at that site, she reported that the new accessible launch increased their park’s visitation by a factor of 3. Entering and exiting kayaks and canoes and launching them into the water is often the most difficult part of the sport. When a launch system offers safe and stable entry to the water, it appeals to its users and enhances the paddling experience for people who use the launch. It also keeps them coming back.

Economic benefits of BoardSafe’s accessible and adaptive kayak launch
BoardSafe was recently asked how new paddle craft launches and access points impact the local economies. This link points to several resources that provide statistics and studies on the economic benefits of water trails.
Water trails boost local economy
Included in the above link is a PowerPoint presentation by the Georgia River Network. Its message does a nice job of discussing the “Granola Myth.” This myth addresses the perception that new infrastructure (like a kayak launch) offers little in return to the community; implying that people using the launch are packing their granola, water, etc., and not spending money in local communities. However, the facts are that, on average, $55 is spent per person for kayakers and canoers (Reference the Ohio Census data). The statistic was mirrored in a study conducted by the New York State Canals Corporation on kayakers visiting the Erie Canal. The number increases from $55 to nearly $250 for out-of-town visitors.
The OIA Report is a national report that provides statistics for all types of outdoor industry recreation, revenue, and jobs created by outdoor sports. It is worth taking a look at their statistics on economic impact because the report breaks this information down by state.
Three reasons inclusive water trails are important
- Including underserved groups and paddlers with disabilities improves access for everyone.
- When more people have great places to go that meet their unique needs, there is bound to be less conflict among different types of trail users.
- The process of developing inclusive water trails is an excellent investment in building a vibrant, healthy, cohesive community.

BoardSafe Docks Continues to Inform and Educate About Accessibility
Local and regional governments and public and private organizations overseeing waterways are recognizing the need for, and actively supporting, programs to provide access to the waters for people with mobility challenges.
As these organizations plan facilities for all of their citizens or members, they look for input from various experts in design, engineering, and installation, as well as financing, site evaluation, civic planning, and ecological impact. BoardSafe Docks works with planners and other experts to design, manufacture, and install their innovative, durable, ADA-compliant, accessible aluminum floating docks, kayak launches, and other products.
As we seek to meet, inspire, and educate public and private organizations, we attend conferences during the year to make connections that benefit adaptive sports enthusiasts and the communities in which they live.

Safety on the Water Beyond a BoardSafe Dock
The popularity of paddlesports continues to grow as more and more people take up paddling. Paddlesports are a perfect way to enjoy the outdoors, have some fun, and stay in shape. Paddling is a popular recreational activity that family and friends can enjoy together. BoardSafeDocks has designed an inclusive launch system that gets people of all abilities into the water safely—however, safety continues beyond launching your vessel into the water.
Tips for a successful paddling experience
Many factors can turn a pleasant paddling experience into a dangerous situation. There are many steps you can take to ensure a safe paddling experience. Some of the most common tips for a successful experience are listed here:
- Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket. They are proven lifesavers. One of the biggest reasons people take their life jacket off is because they find it uncomfortable to kayak with. This is why it's worth investing in a kayaking-specific life jacket that is designed to be comfortable and less restrictive when paddling.
- Check the weather in advance of your paddle trip. Getting caught in inclement weather will ruin your experience. Plus, it’s always best to dress for immersion, just in case.
- Create a float plan. Travel with a companion or group. Plan your trip with a map before departing and advise someone you trust of your plans, your route, your launch and take-out site(s), boat description, and estimated times of departure and arrival.
- Be prepared. Always carry plenty of water and food to stay fueled and hydrated. Dress appropriately. Wear quick-dry clothing and proper water shoes. Bring a basic first aid and repair kit, bilge pump, sunglasses, sunscreen, and bug repellant.
- Know that most people paddle two to three river miles per hour; however, water levels can speed up or slow down a trip. Water levels change from season to season and with little notice due to rain events. Even the most experienced should take caution, considering low bridge heights above water. Droughts will also affect your experience. Dams, jams, and other obstructions may require portaging. Be aware of river obstructions such as overhanging branches or dead trees under water that may not be visible. These obstructions, as well as powercrafts, can flip a watercraft, so learn reentry and practice it in a controlled environment.
- Be aware of power boats and other fast-moving watercraft, reduce proximity to power boats, and be cautious if near them.
- Protect the water and shorelands. Remember that much of the shorelands are privately owned.
- Most importantly, be aware of your abilities and limitations and be sure to paddle within your skill level. When paddling in a group, never paddle beyond the abilities of your weakest paddler.
The 5 most common mistakes made by kayakers
Here are some of the most common mistakes made by all paddlers that affect the paddling experience.
- Mistake #1: Launching in dangerous water
- Mistake #2: Attempting busy waterways
- Mistake #3: Choosing uncomfortable weather
- Mistake #4: Overextending or overconfidence
- Mistake #5: Using gear improperly
Improving safety awareness
A successful river trip is a safe river trip. BoardSafe Docks’ Adaptive Kayak Launch changes lives, improves the user experience for all paddlers, and impacts communities. Part of our mission is to educate our customers about our safe launch system; however, also understanding the importance of safe practices on the water will enhance the user experience and keep people coming back.

2024 Tennessee RiverLine Summit Presented by BoardSafe Docks
BoardSafe Docks is pleased to partner with the Tennessee RiverLine to support the development of North America’s next great regional trail system.
The 2024 Summit is happening now at the Lodge at Pickwick Landing in Hardin County, TN.
The interactive forum offers planning sessions, outdoor excursions, water trail workshops, accessibility awareness, and networking opportunities.
Tennessee RiverLine’s vision of a continuous water trail experience begins where the Tennessee River forms in Knoxville, TN, to its confluence with the Ohio River in Paducah, KY. It includes 652 miles of paddle trails and touches the four states of Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Kentucky. Improving accessibility to the Tennessee River is a dream for anyone who enjoys kayaking, canoeing, and spending time on the water. Their full vision is laid out in the booklet here: Tennessee RiverLine Vision Booklet.pdf
Accessible recreation by BoardSafe
The desire for accessible recreation in and by the water offers new economic opportunities, encourages ecological stewardship and conservation, draws people to the water, and promotes better health for its citizens. Kayaking, canoeing, and fishing opportunities connect people to their communities. The advantage of ensuring that entry points offer universal access ensures that paddlers with disabilities and mobility limitations can be included in activities along with family and friends. Educating others about universal access has become a significant part of BoardSafe’s Mission. Our goal is to assist others in understanding that “accessible” is not synonymous with “adaptive.” Paddlers with physical disabilities and mobility limitations require additional adaptive features to enter their kayaks and get out on the water. When BoardSafe’s Kayak Launch was designed, BoardSafe’s team collaborated with a group of paddlers in wheelchairs who provided input into the launch’s features. These meetings ensured the necessary features were not overlooked and would be developed to the extent necessary to provide the accommodations paddlers in wheelchairs require for safe entry into their vessels. Equitable access ensures all paddlers may enjoy the beauty, diversity, and history of the Tennessee River and beyond.
What makes BoardSafe unique?
BoardSafe’s unique applications for improving accessibility with their adaptive features, paired with the design integrity of their floating dock system, continue to make them the industry leader and expert in accessibility for all. Ultimately, the user experience is improved for everyone who uses their launch systems for kayaking or fishing.
BoardSafe’s manufacturing takes place in Fleetwood, PA, but as a licensed contractor in Tennessee, they have a strong presence helping to improve accessibility with their adaptive kayak launches and fishing piers. Their pedestrian bridges, gangways, and rowing docks also improve access points throughout the state.
Representing BoardSafe Docks at RiverLine’s Summit are Tom Warchol, a BoardSafe Partner, Kelly Bealls from the Business Development Team, and Bill Bogdan, an adaptive sports enthusiast who has partnered with BoardSafe to share the important message about universal access for all.
Helping non-disabled people gain a better understanding of the features required for inclusive fishing and paddling is necessary because, all too often, launches are built and deemed to be accessible when they’re not. When a paddler in a wheelchair can enter their vessel safely and with minimal assistance, their experience is life-changing. The paddling experience is improved for the adaptive paddler as well as those kayaking with them. Here is a video of Bill using BoardSafe’s Adaptive Kayak Launch independently: Adaptive Kayak Launch at Lake Chaminwood
Accessibility in the outdoors
Tennessee RiverLine is a catalyst for new investments in outdoor recreation and infrastructure that will create jobs and stimulate the economy. Successful paddle trails should ensure proper accessibility that includes features for paddlers in wheelchairs. Paddling and kayak fishing are a great part of their rehabilitation and exercise routine and it gets them out on the water with everyone else.
When accessibility is at the forefront of the design process, the paddling experience will be improved for all users. Communities investing in accessible infrastructure will benefit economically and ecologically, will improve public health, and draw more people to the water.
BoardSafe prides itself on developing a trusting and respectful relationship with our clients throughout the manufacturing process. Our team understands our products’ impact on communities and has witnessed our product designs improve lifestyles for the adaptive and recreation-loving communities we serve. We are proud of the partnerships we develop with our customers and appreciate the opportunity to develop our customers’ visions and turn them into legacies of waterfront inclusivity for generations to come. Through the power of partnerships and collaborative planning, great things are happening in Tennessee!
