Do I need previous rafting experience to rent equipment?

Yes, previous experience is highly recommended. Our rentals are intended for experienced paddlers who are comfortable navigating whitewater on their own. If you’re new to rafting or kayaking, we recommend joining one of our guided trips for the best (and safest!) introduction to the river.

Can I rent a raft or kayak without a reservation?

No, reservations are required. We recommend booking in advance to secure your gear and ensure availability, especially on weekends and holidays.

How do I know which section of river to paddle?

We’re happy to offer suggestions based on your skill level and current river conditions. Popular self-guided sections include Pigeon Point, French Creek, and Cedar Flat. Keep in mind that not all sections are appropriate for all experience levels - it is your responsibility to know your experience level and choose a section accordingly.
