| Worry-free is how we describe all of our livery trips! We take everyone upstream allowing a leisurely float back to the campground. No time worries! Does a 2-3 hour float usually take your group 5? No problem, as long as you return in a reasonable time and well before dark there’s no one timing you and waiting to charge you more. Instead you‘ll find a relaxing campsite or your own vehicle. |
| For most of our trips we are the only livery using the river so you aren’t crowded. The river is wide, sandy-bottomed and mostly obstacle free. Saturdays in late June, July & August are very popular, so make your reservations early. You can contact us anytime throughout the year by phone or e-mail. |
| Try the 9:00 am trip this year! Get out early and enjoy the mist rising off the river, a great blue heron hunting for breakfast or turtles soaking up the morning rays. Other trip times available are 10:30, 12:00, 1:30, 3:00 & 4:00. Trips require registration and payment at least a half hour in advance of the scheduled leave time. |
| Open alcohol, smoking & profanity are not allowed in our buses or vans. Please keep in mind that it is illegal to navigate watercraft while intoxicated. |
| *Bus Riders - sometimes people just want to ride on our bus because their group has taken equipment up the river - the rules & rates for this are as follows: we will take you only if we already have a regularly scheduled trip of canoes/kayaks/tubes. The cost is $5 per person (without coolers, without tubes...etc. - this is just for people). Group discounts are available for 15+ canoes or kayaks, or 30+ tubes *There is a portage (where you have to carry your canoes/kayaks) around some fallen trees on the 4-6 hour, or longer, canoe & kayak trips (not on the tube trip). It's about 300 feet in length. |
| The livery is open from May 15th until it gets too cold to go, usually in mid October. We are open every day of the week, except for Tuesdays. |
