“Great livery. Friendly staff. Reasonable pricing. Their launch/takeout could be improved. Hill is rather steep. Only gave 4 stars because they charge you the same price for people wanting to bring their own kayak. All other liveries only charge 1/2 (of) what they charge to rent a (sit-on-top) kayak.”

It's on a shallow angle, but you can still get stuck in the gravel, especially if your back wheels are in the water. Four wheel drive is recommended (real 4x4, not AWD uselessness). Parking is also on loose gravel and/or mud, but there's plenty of room.”

I really enjoyed the time with the river and the turtles and birds . If you enjoy floating around, your are going to love t”
