Initially I called left a message and a gentleman called me back. I returned to call to their company and set up a reservation for Sunday for a group of five to eight people. Sunday came and there was off and on rain however it was supposed to be clear from noon to 3:00 and our reservations were for noon. No one called me to let me know that they were closed due to weather. I even tried to call twice left a message to make sure that they were still open and no one returned to call. I assumed they were busy so our entire group showed up at our reservation time, all to find out that they were closed. It was super frustrating due to the fact that multiple people drove 45 minutes to an hour away for this trip, along with myself having to get child care specifically for this event. There was nothing posted on their website about any closure at this location. There was one employee at the neighboring business who stated that she also was an employee for the paddling company. She stated that she would immediately text the paddling company owner and have him reach out to me to set up a reschedule. I never received any type of further communication from him. It was disappointing to not receive some communication that they were closed before we all made arrangements and traveled to the location for nothing, waste of time and gas and as everyone know gas isn't cheap right now. We would understand the closing due to weather but it would have been nice to know before driving out to this location. Thankfully we did end up finding River Village Kayak and Canoes who was not too far away, they go down the same river and they were more than happy to rent to us, they have a large supplies of kayaks, sit on and sit in available.

Amazing fun time going down the river once your off the river you can always stop off at ATWATER street tacos for some authentic Mexican tacos or STATION 24 across the street for some delicious burgers or some out of this world flatbreads

Questions & Answers

Can we bring our own yaks and be picked up at the end of the day I'll pay for transportation back of course

Kenneth Pomeroy | Nov 2, 2020
William Blackburn | Nov 2, 2020

Of course you can. Reservations are required even with personal boats. The last time they send boats out is 4pm and they try to run the last shuttle around 6:30.

Where do we launch if we have our own kayaks?

Dillon B | Nov 3, 2019
Samantha Jenkins | Nov 3, 2019

You can right outside there place.... Huron park.... but u have to get picked up at the end. Sometimes they will take ur kayak back but u have to load it. They dont want to take responsibility.

I have tried to call for reservations 3 days in a row nobody is answering the phones or calling me back.

Sorry about the inconvenience and confusion. We had updated the notification on the website to say they are now opening June 4th but then the notice disappeared. It is back up in view.

Will Atwater come and pick you up for a fee if you own your own kayak ? And where is dodge park ?

Deb Heatherly | Nov 3, 2019
Wolverine 4 Life | Nov 2, 2021

Yes they will come pick you up for a fee and Dodge Park is down the river in Berlin, MI. It's around 5 miles east of the exit off I-275.

Hello I was wondering if I rented a kayak if I could come back up Huron river to Belleville (lower Huron Metropark) and then come out back in flat rock?

Andrea Hayre | Nov 3, 2019
Alexander | Nov 3, 2019

No, that trip is offered at a metro park location. The flat Rock location offers a trip heading south down the Huron from Huroc Park to Dodge Park in South Rockwood

What are the hours of this place on the weekends? As in open-close Very interested, this would be my first time .

Kaylee Marie | Sep 3, 2022

Mickey is correct but any rain showers or whatnot there will be a slight delay or it won't be open at all

Is there a place to park my bike if I ride over?

codey morganti | Nov 3, 2019
Alexander | Nov 3, 2019

There are bike locks in Huroc park, just a two minute walk away. There is a lock at the launch point but they're used for rental bikes

How many people fit a canoe? Would my husband, myself and our 2 year old fit?

Girlmomx3 | Nov 3, 2019
sarkiesilver | Nov 3, 2019

The canoes will accommodate three adults, or two adults and two children in the middle seat within the recommended weight limit of 750Lbs. As Debra mentioned, there is plenty of footspace for a cooler/bag. Two of our five canoes do have a cooler/drybox under the middle seat.

What road do they pick you up at?

Hailey Eagle | Nov 3, 2019
Debra Young | Nov 3, 2019

It's not really a road it's a little tiny boat launch I actually passed it and wound up at a different place she did come and get me but she wasn't very happy about it I could tell she tried to hide it she's very nice lady I always have extra when I do something like that maybe be prepared.
