We did the 8 mile kayak, it was great and these guys do a great job getting you setup and on the water. Highly recommend.

My wife and I did an 8mi trip in a canoe from Clearwater to Becker. It was a fun and scenic trip. The paddling was pretty easy. We just had to watch for a few sandbars and rocks. We stopped to swim a few times to cool down. The reservation, rental, and shuttle process was quick and easy.
