There are no gators or sharks, but there are water snakes. They are mostly non-aggressive type, but we ask you to respect wildlife and keep your distance. Checking your surroundings while on water goes a long way. Any incidents with wildlife are extremely rare and generally it is a unique experience to spot any wildlife while out on the river!
Dogs are allowed but not recommended. If your furry friend has never been in a boat, you might find yourself fighting to keep your pup onboard instead of enjoying the day ;) Only dogs with prior boating experience are allowed on 10 Mile Challenge and Epic Overnight.
1 person per single kayak; 2 people per tandem kayak; 2 people per canoe. No riders in canoe allowed on this trip.
Canoes have plenty of storage and it's a preferred vessel for the overnight trip. You can bring cooler, backpack or other accessories along the way. Kayaks however, have limited storage. Smaller backpack would fit ok, but not much more than that. Keep in mind that more stuff you have lower the boat seats making it so much more less efficient paddling and going over rapids.
Maybe! The river is an unpredictable environment and there is always a possibility of capsizing. You must be prepared for it, dress and gear up accordingly.
Yes. But Epic Overnight is much more physically demanding trip. While we can show you basic paddling concepts, you still have to do all the work covering 15 miles!
