On July 22, 2014, Happy Paddle announced a guided kayak tour on Font Lake and the Chamber of Commerce welcomed it as a new member. The notice described kayak, paddleboard, and bicycle rentals, guided tours, and delivery service near the public beach.

This records the business launch and advertised services. It does not establish attendance, rental volume, licensing, or later continuity.
