Second time at this location. Tubing or kayaking they are well organized. Tubes are 25. Cooler tubes 20 😬yikes. It is what it is. The river is nice it takes about 3 to 4 hours depending on if you stop midway to hang out and eat lunch. βœŒπŸ½πŸ‘½

Dave and Connie helped us pull off a fantastic canoe trip for a large Boy Scout group. This was not their normal trip and they went out of their way to make it happen. Our boys had a great time. Thanks

I booked online and check-in was a breeze. They let us embark 30 minutes before our designated time. The river was peaceful and has enough flow that you only need to use the paddles to steer. The water level was low, but our canoe only dragged on the bottom once. The length of the trip was just right for us.

Where is the pick up point for the 3.5 mile float trip?

keith bogdanovich | Jul 1, 2021
DAVE & CONNIE SCOTT | Jul 2, 2021

All our trips end back at our place where your vehicle is located. That put in is our personal owned private ramp. You have to rent from us to use that ramp. We are not currently running this week (July 4th week/weekend 2021)due to the high river level.

Do you have "kid sized" tubes?

Baby Baby | Mar 28, 2021
DAVE & CONNIE SCOTT | Mar 29, 2021

Correct, we have some tubes with canvas bottoms and tube trackers that are great for an adult or an adult with a small child. https://www.riversidecanoes.com/trips

How deep is the river ? And does it go fast and flip ? Kids don't know how to swim !

Diana | Mar 28, 2021
Karen R. Long | Mar 29, 2021

Yep. Some places are to the middle of your calf others relatively deep. If you get a rocket raft you can sit with 1 child per raft if their small or you can chill in a regular raft. All in all its great for family!!

Is the river deep?

Raul Perez | Mar 28, 2021
DAVE & CONNIE SCOTT | Mar 29, 2021

It always depends on how much rain the areas have gotten. If you are considering a float trip and you do not know the waters, it's a good idea to follow the local canoe liveries if you are inexperienced. Give them a call.

To rent a tube do you have to have water shoes

kerb β€”- | Mar 28, 2020
DAVE & CONNIE SCOTT | Mar 29, 2020

We are the owners and it is "very highly recommended" that you wear some type of enclosed shoe if you are doing any sort of exploring or walking in the river at all. An old tennis shoe, something with an enclosed toe and back strap. We always wear (water) shoes. The more your foot is covered the better. We also have them for sale in the office if you cannot find anything. $15 adult size, $10 child size.

Where do u drop in and where do u end?

Anne Padgett | Mar 29, 2019
Tammy Kitchell | Mar 30, 2019

Depending on how long of a trip you are doing. We always do the 7 mile, so we get on a bus/van after we check in and they take us to a spot down the river. We do our 7 mile trip and it ends right back at riverside rentals. So our car is right there.

The most popular trip is 7 1/2 miles. $40 per canoe or double kayak. $30 per single kayak. Age depends on physical ability. 10-12 year olds can but a lot get tired before the end.
