LAKE LIFE BY discoverboating.com 6 Reasons to Keep Boating Into Autumn Traditionally, when we think of boating, we think of swimming, waterskiing, and generally having a great time during the summer months. There’s a lot to be said, however, about extending your boating season in autumn. In fact, fall boating offers advantages that the rest of the year doesn’t. Here are a few reasons why... 1. It’s Quieter Since most people prefer boating in warm weather, fall boating means launch ramps and marinas are less crowded. So, too, are popular sandbars and anchorages, which you might just find you have all to yourself as October and November advance. 2. It's Perfect for Leaf Peeping What better way to take in the crimsons, oranges, and more of fall foliage than by boat? The reflection of the bright colors in the water is equally magical, so be sure to pack your camera. Check out our guide to the best fall foliage destinations for places to put on your must-visit list. 3. Bird-Watching Abounds Just as colorful leaves are all around whether you’re coastal or inland, so are migratory birds. Turn bird watching into a fun game by assigning different species listed in guidebooks to each member of your family, and passing out pairs of binoculars. Whoever checks off the most species gets to pick dinner.
