Russell Canoe Livery provides a peaceful, fun, and relaxing canoeing and kayaking experience on the Rifle River. Reviews describe the service as amazing and awesome, from booking to check-in and drop-off. The shuttle driver is efficient. The river trip is very calming, though the river is slow, requiring paddling to complete the two to four-hour journey. It is recommended for a family vacation. The business accommodates guests with early trips and offers canoe, tandem kayak, and tube rentals. There is a small attached gift shop and supply store for forgotten items like sunscreen and bugspray. Guests are asked to be off the river around 5 p.m. Many reviewers state they will be back, having had a great time and a blast.
