Adventure Tips
Reserve in Advance for Peak Season
Due to strong demand, especially in late spring and fall, booking your canoe and shuttle early ensures availability and a smoother start to your trip.
Pack Light and Waterproof
Use dry bags for all gear to stay dry during river crossings and unexpected splashes along rocky rapids.
Know Your Route Difficulty
Current River offers gentle to moderate flows, but Jacks Fork can be more technical with fast-moving sections—plan accordingly.
Bring Reusable Water and Snacks
While Two Rivers offers a small supply store, carrying your own water and food reduces trips off the river and protects the environment.
