Good Morning Paddlers,

It is the last weekend in August (Aug 29 & Aug 30) and it will be hot and dry. We are sold out of rentals and personal shuttle spaces for both Saturday and Sunday.

The river is beautiful with amazing gravel bars. Even though the water level is low there is a path you can paddle down.

Thanks for joining us on the Duck River last Friday. Mussel floats are always so much fun and educational.

Good morning Paddlers,

We are open today Friday Aug 28 and are looking forward to a beautiful weekend. The water level is still at our normal summer low level, which means we have great gravel bars to stop at along the river and even though we are low there is a path you can paddle down the whole way.

Weekend Update:

Friday - no walk ins or same day reservations
Saturday - sold out of all rentals and personal shuttle spaces
Sunday - limited spaces available- sold out of all premium single kayaks.

We will be closed, Thursday August 27

Good Morning Paddlers,

We are open today, Friday August 21. Our water levels remain at our normal summer low level. So this means there are great swim spots and good gravel bars to explore but a little slower current. There is a path you can paddle down if you pay attention.

We are not accepting any same day reservations today and are currently sold out for Saturday

Greetings Paddlers,We are closed today, Thursday August 20 for a special event.
