Had an amazing day kayaking with Dan! He's super knowledgeable, takes his time getting you prepped for your route, and has check in spots along the way so you know you're going the right way. He went above and beyond to help me when I lost something on the trip, I couldn't be more grateful to him and his amazing service.

Before you paddle
Email, text or call us with your desired date, time and phone number. For the booking itself we'll need your email address, whether you want a single or tandem kayak, and the ages, heights and weights of everyone on the trip. Once your date is confirmed you'll get a payment link to finish booking.
We require 24 hour advance reservations for every trip.
Paddlers must be at least 8 years old. Ages 8 to 13 ride tandem with an adult, and ages 14 to 17 may paddle solo as long as a consenting adult is on the trip. Every booking needs at least two people.
Either, at the same price. Let us know when you book which one you'd like.
Every trip is off the water at least half an hour before sunset, so start times shift with the season.
Yes. Ask about our optional guided fishing add-on. You'll need a valid Ohio fishing license, which we don't provide, and rod rentals may be available for an additional fee.
