This is my favorite canoe livery. They cover the best potion of the river for paddling. It is the last canoe livery along the river as south of it gets dangerous. The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly. It is a must stop for paddlers and people looking for a great outdoor activity.

Had one of the best group canoe and kayak trips I've ever had at this location! Family owned and they will go the extra mile to make you comfortable and happy! Heavy Metal Church had such a great time we are planning on going three times a year now on their amazing 11 mile adventure!

Had an awesome time here. A van took us out to our drop spot and did all the kayak transport. River moves at a nice pace so it was easy to just float and enjoy it.

Questions & Answers

Where does the course begin? at the site and end downriver or further upstream and finish at the site?

They have a few different lengths. They take you up river and you paddle back.

I am wanting to do the 8 mile trip but just a beginner. I have done the 3 mile. Is there rapids or dangerous areas on the 8 mile?

Kim Everetts | Nov 4, 2018
Tac Powers | Nov 4, 2018

They say there are two separate "rapids" areas that you go through on the 8-mile but, they are very easy. Maybe it depends on the weather and the heighth of the water. It wasn't bad at all when my son and I went. You definitely will want two people rowing in your canoe if you haven't done a lot of rowing. That will definitely help get through the "rapids" areas.

Do they let you tube in the afternoon hours between 4-8 pm?

Heather Hall | Nov 3, 2020
Zen Weaver | Nov 3, 2020

But don't let the time deter you. Its still a great place to tube with water that actually moves unlike other places ive tuned where the water flows so slow you are basically moving by your own power.

Can you bring beer?

Chad Champion | Nov 4, 2019
Austin Shover | Nov 4, 2019

Alcohol beverages are not permitted on any Ohio waterways, with that said we also dont check coolers unless you give us obvious signs. For example if we hear glass bottles clicking together, we will check mostly because we dont allow glass on the river.

How expensive is it?

Chad Champion | Nov 4, 2019
Michael Poff | Nov 4, 2019

Comparable to all canoeing and kayaking, 25-45 depending on what you choose to do.

Are u guys open today?

Alim Shakirov | Nov 4, 2019

Currently the river high and there are a couple log jams we will have to cut out before boats can be sent out
