Paddling Conditions:

WELCOME PADDLERS!

The river is in the lower part of the Normal Range, a good level for running shorter trips. For today, we are running as normal, offering canoes, kayaks, rafts, paddleboards and tubes.  Best paddling day trips are #1 & #2.  Best fishing trips are #1 &#2. Trips SP2 & SP3 are good fishing but very difficult to get through the McCoy’s Ford Area (3 Miles). Shorten up your trip, float and relax more. Remember to bring plenty of drinking water, snacks, sunscreen, shoes that you can wear in the river (No Flip-Flops) and a change of clothes. Also. remember to always wear your life vest!

Our online store is open, and we are shipping orders or making items available for in-store pickup.

NOTE: Be advised that river conditions can change rapidly with sudden storms or heavy rain in the upper watershed. Also, water temperature can vary as much as six degrees or more in a single day.
