I had a good time on the water with my family today. Jack was so friendly and nice to us. I definitely recommend.

Spent an amazing 3.5 hours kayaking here on a perfect day! We saw plenty of heron and even a couple bald eagles! I especially love that the rate is for the whole day instead of by the hour, so you don’t have to watch the clock to get back by a certain time, you can just relax and enjoy the river. Jack is so kind and welcoming. We’ll be back!

Jack is a stand up guy. I lost my wallet at the boat launch and he found it and returned it back to me. Had a bunch of cash in it and not a dollar was missing. Stand up guy and I’m sure his business is run all the same. Thanks man!

Very nice experience! Decent kayaking length and multiple options for both beginners as well as experts. There is plenty of things to do for nature lovers and if you are lucky you can catch a glimpse of the blue herons as well! The service is owned by a small family who are all fantastic fun people to work with. Starting from booking the reservations to giving us directions to arranging everything, all went smooth. Travis is a pretty chill guy who is passionate about his job and very helpful and responsible. Just a couple of things to keep in mind- the place has a restroom which closes pretty soon and there are no changing rooms so it’s better to come prepared.
