When guiding a group of kayakers on Flathead Lake, Hunter Oliver likes to point out the wildlife, such as nesting ospreys, bighorn sheep and elusive otters.
Other guides prefer covering historical events or significant people. Whatever the topic, it’s a unique experience offered by Sea Me Paddle, which also offers rentals, based out of Lakeside.
Recently, Sea Me Paddle has found new ownership in Justin and Kelsey Flake. With Kelsey’s encouragement, Justin left his career as a stockbroker in October of 2023 to buy the company from the former owners, BJ and Joli Johnson.
