Services & Rates

Guided trips -
Guided canoe trips are a good way to start learning about the river, with an experienced Trinity canoeist to help interpret the natural history and historic sites along the way. Guided trips are conducted on the second Saturday of every month, changing locations each month to enjoy the best trips on the river system throughout the year. Trips start and end at a meeting place near the river, and include tandem (2 person) canoes, paddles, Type 3 lifejackets, the "shuttle" (transportation from the meeting place to and from the river), and interpretive guide. Price per person is $35.00, which includes all state and local sales taxes. Reservations are required for all guided trips.

Canoe and Kayak trips -
For those who want to set up their own river trip, self-guided day trips are the way to go. River trips start and end at a meeting place near the river, and include tandem canoes, paddles, Type 3 lifejackets and shuttle transportation. Prices are per canoe and include all state and local sales taxes.

Shuttle Only - If you have your own canoe or kayak, all you need is the shuttle.  The shuttle starts at the "take-out", near the  end of the selected river section, and includes transportation for you, your group, boats and equipment up to the "put-in" (starting point) for that section. With the shuttle out of the way, you can paddle at your own pace down to the take-out where you're parked. Save time and money on extra vehicles and complicated shuttle arrangements by letting us run the shuttle for you. Shuttles are priced by the canoe or kayak; all applicable sales taxes are included.

Canoe Rental Only - If you need a canoe for use elsewhere, rent a canoe to take with you. Canoe rentals are picked up and dropped off by you at our location, and include a tandem canoe, 2 paddles and 2 Type 2 lifejackets. Rentals are priced by the day per canoe, and include all state and local sales taxes. 

Trailer Rental - Transporting canoes requires either a trailer, a car top rack or a car top kit. Canoe trailers can carry up to 6 canoes, and require a 2 inch ball hitch and trailer light wiring. Canoe trailers are available for rent by the day, or free trailer rental when you rent 6 canoes. Car top racks for transporting bicycles or other sports equipment can usually be adapted for carrying canoes. Car top kits include foam blocks, ropes and bumper hooks and are adaptable to most vehicles; these are available at local outdoor and paddling shops.

Canoe Instruction - Improved canoeing skills let you enjoy your time on the water by allowing you to concentrate on your surroundings, instead of wasting your day on frustrating trial and error canoeing "methods". Canoe instruction can vary from a day of personal instruction to tune up your skills before a big trip, to multi-day classes for groups with comprehensive instruction on the full range of canoeing skills. Canoe instruction is tailored for each individual or group, with lesson plans developed to meet individual needs. Prices are quoted on request, and include all applicable sales taxes.
