Kayak & Canoe Rentals

 

From a quiet, relaxing, family friendly 1.5 hour trip that winds through cottages and cabins to a 5 hour float that leads you into the peaceful and famed Mason Tract where you can stop for a glimpse of The Chapel, have lunch, and view wildlife, Paddle Brave will outfit you for the perfect trip.

We offer both car spots and shuttle service to and from landings. If you do plan to have a car spot, please arrive early.

Paddling times listed on the map below are an estimate, dependent upon the current conditions of the river.
