"Rare Kayaking Opportunity Emerges at Death Valley's Replenished Badwater Basin"

Due to excessive rainfall in California, Death Valley National Park is currently offering a rare opportunity for kayaking at Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America. The temporary lake, informally known as Lake Manly, is about 6 miles long, 3 miles wide, and just 1 foot deep, providing a unique kayaking experience for visitors. Park rangers advise visitors to follow park rules and minimize their impact on the fragile desert environment, and to bring their own kayaks as the park does not have any available for rent. Additionally, the park is open for the annual Death Valley Dark Sky Festival from March 1 to March 3 for stargazing.
