ONSITE ACTIVITIES
We hope to provide canoeing, kayaking, tubing services and possibly horseback rides in the future. For the time being, you are welcome to bring your own canoe, kayak, or tube to enjoy the river. We are very familiar with the river and the area and are happy to advise you on how to complete self-guided trips.
