Ya might try some whitewater kayak classes.

Other than that, do the survival thing in an area/season you are not familiar with.

how big is the lake? try camping out for a few nights or a week. Bring the minimum ammount of food and test your skills at gathering food, catching fish and other critters. Make it a fishing/hunting/trapping trip. I'll bet you'll learn something...

+1 :thumbup:

Maybe also take an edible plant ID field guild (for your area) and supplement your diet for the week with plant material.

Kind regards

A really fun thing to do is to take a dirtbike up some old trails, if you know of any near you that were at one time used by vehicles but have since been overgrown. Some friends and I did this about 25 years ago, and we actually panned for some gold in a river and found a little. You don't have to go for gold, any good trail will be equally as fun on a bike. Old logging roads, trails that once led to a quarry or mine, stuff like that. Picture it as a hike on two wheels.
