Highlights
Outing Highlights
Canoes, kayaks and SUP options for a range of trips
The operator offers boats suitable for short cottage weekends or seven-day expeditions—book the craft that matches your plan and reserve in advance to avoid disappointment.
Reserve early and understand the cancellation fee
All boat rentals must be reserved in advance; a cancellation fee equal to one day’s rental per boat is charged at booking and is non‑refundable if you cancel or don’t show.
Store‑hours pickups and return planning
Pickups occur only during store hours—there are no after‑hours pickups—and while after‑hours returns are possible you remain responsible for the boat until staff checks it the following morning, so plan to return during business hours.
What the day feels like
What the week feels like
A seven‑day rental at South River puts a full week of paddling within reach: take a short cottage weekend or string together day trips for a longer expedition. The process is straightforward—reserve in advance, pick up during store hours, manage your own tie‑downs (staff can assist), and return during business hours when possible to avoid being responsible for the craft overnight.
