Your Responsiblities

Weather Conditions

We operate rain or shine.  Rain right before your trip may improve your canoeing experience.  If weather conditions are extreme, water currents too swift, or water levels too high, we issue a rain check.  We do not issue refunds due to inclement weather.  Rain Checks will be issued and must be used in the season issued.

Trip Tips

There is no such thing as "bad weather", only inadequate clothing.  Dress in layers, morning temperatures are often cool, afternoons warmer.  One of the joys of canoeing is the peace and quiet of the scenic river.  Respect private property and stop only at public landings.  Leave valuables and non-water proof cameras in the car and lock it.  Avoid losing wallets or car keys - Storage Key Service in office -- No Charge.
