This experience is designed for families and friends looking to spend quality time on the water while taking in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The gentle flow of the river creates a calm and enjoyable setting suitable for all ages.
The adventure begins with a brief orientation followed by a short shuttle ride to the upstream launch point.
