Expect five hours of river travel between a launch point and a designated take-out, with the shuttle meeting you at the trip end and returning you to the launch so you can leave your vehicle at the finish. The outing is a simple, equipment-supplied paddle down the Flint River in either a kayak or canoe.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this trip suits — and who it doesn’t.

1
Families with young childrenGood fit if you plan to paddle as a family: tandem kayaks explicitly allow two adults plus one child under 9, enabling a parent-and-child setup.
2
Solo paddlers and older childrenSingle kayaks are for one paddler and are available to participants aged 9 and up, making the trip appropriate for older children and solo adults.
3
Groups of adultsPairs and small adult groups can choose tandem or individual craft to match party composition; tandem rules require two adults when carrying a child under 9.
4
Families with children under 9 looking to paddle aloneNot ideal for a single adult wanting to paddle solo with a child under 9 in a single kayak—the operator’s tandem policy specifies two adults plus one child in tandem craft.
