Outing Highlights
A choice of tubes, kayaks, canoes and SUPs
Select from cooler tubes, single and duo kayaks, classic canoes (regular or upgraded with seatbacks) or stand‑up paddleboards; paddles and life jackets are included with rental equipment.
Go classic or upgrade for support
Opt for standard canoes or upgrade to models with seatbacks for added comfort on the water — a small choice that changes how you experience the float.
Pack smart — coolers, sunscreen and common‑sense rules
Canoes can carry large coolers (up to about 48 gallons), small soft coolers suit kayaks, and cooler tubes are available for the 4‑mile trip; note that styrofoam and glass are not allowed on the river.
