Demofest
May 2, 2026
10-2pm
Lake Ahquabi State Park
On Saturday May 2nd we’ll be hosting Demofest on the beach at Lake Ahquabi State Park. Demofest has been a long standing spring event at CanoeSport. With over 50 different (no repeats!) boats on the beach it is our LARGEST on-water demo of the year (and might be the biggest in the state!) Our knowledgeable staff will be on-site to answer your questions and help you find the perfect vessel for your adventures. Special deals on select models will be available.
Cost: Free
Time: 10am-2pm
** Concessions will be available for purchase! **
TRAK Kayaks are a unique design and part of their uniqueness is the fact they fold into a rolling travel bag. The TRAK 2.0 also has real-tie adjustable rocker! No other kayak on the beach has this one of a kind feature. To ensure we have time to demonstrate this feature to you we will have 2 designated times slots for staff to specifically show you how the TRAK 2.0 can take you anywhere.
Past demos have included boats from the following manufacturers:
