EXCELLENT Based on 1344 reviews Posted on Google Shirley CrabtreeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a perfect day on the river! The staff getting us there, and in and out of the river were awsome!!! Shout out to Ray and Blaze!Posted on Google Nathaniel Matthews Jr.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recommend this activity for the family.Posted on Google Libby DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Google Nathan LonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place to spend the afternoon with the family.Posted on Google Erin CrabtreeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Google Anna MathenyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!Posted on Google ToriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a wonderful time here yesterday with my friends! Ray was super friendly and got us to our launch safely. Zack and Braden were also superstars and helped pull our tubes down the river and back to shore!! We will all definitely be back!Posted on Google Alexander MantoothTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful time. Roy was a friendly driver who took great care of us. Zack and Braden helped us finish the final leg of our journey. 10/10 experience. We will be back.Posted on Google Jaron HemplemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Facility was very clean, organized and the staff was very friendly. Our driver to the river was also very nice and professional. We had a great time!!Posted on Google Kaela GearhartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
