Guests are encouraged to take extra time on any trip for nature observation, picnicking, photography, or fishing. Canoe Escape is shuttling yours, all paddling adventures start at Canoe Escape on Fowler Avenue. You will be transported to your trip from our shop. On the way you will be provided with a river map, an explanation of your trip, and current river conditions.
All trips are downstream.
Approximated paddling times will vary with your paddling proficiency, weather conditions, and the water level. Although a rare occurrence, because this is a wilderness area it is possible to encounter a downed tree or other obstruction that may require a portage on any trip even though we do our best to keep all self-guided trip sections free of objects blocking the path. Whether you are renting canoes or kayaks or we are shuttling yours, reservations are recommended on all trips to secure trip time and availability. By making a reservation you assist us in doing our best to stagger-start launches so everyone can enjoy the wildlife and serenity. Reservations are required for Trip 7, Crystal Springs at least 24 hours in advance.
