Our family of 15 had a great time, from the 3 year old to the 79 year old! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The ride was easy but enough rocks to be challenging. We had an adult or a couple of capable teens in each canoe.

Fourth year returning trip! We come back here every year, not just for the adventure, but the professionalism, knowledge and fun from the staff. Aaron and Erin were so welcoming right from the start, checking in was a breeze and they were so kind. Ray and Blaze made sure we were prepared for the water by discussing notable landmarks along the way and giving us a heads up on wildlife. We saw a lot of turtles and osprey, not the eagles they were hopeful we’d see though. Can’t wait for our trip next year. Heads up for anyone coming- when the water is slow rent a kayak instead of a tube. We love the tube experience typically but would have been on the water hardly moving for an extremely long time.

Really great experience! We were brand new to kayaking, but everyone here was so kind and knowledgeable. Never felt rushed. Helped us decide on the perfect trip etc. Special shout out to Ray! He drove our bus to the drop off and was very thorough about what we would encounter on the river. Very kind and helpful. We had a great time! Definitely suggest a soft side cooler with drinks AND snacks as it did take us roughly 3.5 hours to complete the 5 mile being our first time. There are plenty of places to stop and get out to stretch your legs if needed as well. Everything was perfect. I'm sure we will be back again!
