River Run Canoe Livery

Thomas Ainslie

Love these guys and this section of the Pere Marquette river. We’ve been renting canoes with them for several years, and tied a tube to the back this most recent time for our daughter now that the kids are too big to fit in a single canoe. Great time every time.

First time adventure for our grandchildren. The owners were awesome, very friendly people! The raft however was too small for 4 people and a small cooler making the 3 hour trip uncomfortable. The river was beautiful, it was our first time down the Pere Marquette. Lots of bends and excessive amounts of down trees made it quite the work out maneuvering the raft. It was a good day all in all.

We really enjoyed our kayak trip. We took the earliest trip offered and saw blue herons, sand pipers, grebes, etc. It was such a peaceful start to our day. Highly recommend the River Run Livery!

Great, friendly service. Easy to find. Kayaks were clean and in good shape. We did the 2-3 hour run. Calm, easy paddle - was really more of a controlled float, which was fine by us. We stopped snacks on a bank and in general took out sweet time and found the three hour estimate was about right. We went on a Tuesday during high season and other than seeing two people just ahead of us in the beginning we never saw another soul. Perfection. Wildlife, we saw several turtles, muskrat (beaver maybe), and heron. Very relaxing morning. Advanced paddlers may find it a bit boring but it was just we wanted this day.
