Paddle guide editor Kelly Lane is a long-time area science teacher. Now retired from the classroom, he continues to work with new and young paddlers. The Black Hills Paddlers are a group of people who love to paddle kayaks, canoes, SUPs, and rafts. We enjoy safe and fun camaraderie while on flat water, whitewater, play-waves, creeks, rivers and sometimes even the snow! We promote water safety for all ages and welcome people of all ages, skill levels, and abilities.
