Floated the river while visiting my son & his wife. Hadn’t been in a canoe in years—it was awesome!! The staff that took care of us were very accommodating, thorough in their instructions for us & just plain nice. The river itself was cool-saw some wildlife & my grandkids loved it! Definitely would recommend.
