We rent 17 foot aluminum Alumacraft canoes and 17 foot plastic Old Town canoes. We rent Old Town sit-on-top kayaks, rafts and tubes.  We recommend only two people per canoe, plus their gear, except in special cases where there is an uneven number in a group or where small children are concerned. These individuals should ride in the middle of the canoe. Each person is furnished with a USCG approved life jacket.

We have buses and vans to take you to and back from a floating point with the canoes. There is a bus schedule for certain float trips.
