We rented two tandem kayaks for an hour and had a very enjoyable time on the White River. The staff were very friendly and very helpful.

Wonderful Family Experience! We had an amazing time at Frank’s Paddlesports Livery! Everything was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. The location was beautiful, the equipment was in great condition, and the whole experience was so relaxing and fun. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming they made us feel right at home. It was the perfect family outing, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend for anyone looking to spend a great day on the water!

Took my big kids 11 and up kayaking! We had a great time! The owner and staff are great, upbeat, and informative. If you live in the city or surrounding areas its closer than other river parks. We did the 4 mile and it was just enough time to still enjoy our day. Next time we'll do the 7.
