Definitely bring these
- ●Sun protection: sunscreen, a sun hat or cap and maybe sunglasses, on the water the sun is more intense.
- ●Enough to drink, especially on hot days.
- ●Clothes that are allowed to get wet, and a towel.
- ●A change of clothes for children, wet feet are pretty much guaranteed.
Handy, but not a must
- ●A waterproof case or pouch for your phone.
- ●A small snack or a picnic for a break on the water.
- ●Sturdy, non-slip shoes or water shoes.

You don't need to bring your own life jacket, it's part of the equipment. And it's best to leave valuables in the car so you can focus entirely on the lake.
