What a Day on the Brule Feels Like

A U‑Haul, one‑day rental translates to a straightforward, equipment‑first outing: collect your boat and safety kit, ride the shuttle to a put‑in, paddle the section suited to your craft and return at the appointed take‑out. The setup is built for independent execution with the basics supplied so you can focus on the river.
