Breakaway Excursions is a kayak outfitter based in Auburn Township, Ohio, operating guided paddles and rentals on the Cuyahoga River and LaDue Reservoir. The company offers a range of experiences for different skill levels, from short wildlife-focused trips to an 8-mile long river run designed for experienced paddlers. Guided options include sunset paddles and full moon guided trips at LaDue Reservoir, family-friendly outings, and skill-building classes such as beginner kayaking for kids and parents and an adult self-rescue course.
All sessions include provided equipment and optional instruction where noted; rentals and guided programs are available at LaDue Boathouse and along the Cuyahoga River. Multi-week programs like the 10-week Sunrise Kayak Workout deliver consistent fitness-focused paddling, while single-session offerings range from two-hour rentals to 2–3 hour beginner classes and medium 5-mile river paddles. Special events such as the Paddle and Pizza float pair a 3.5-mile river ride with a riverside bonfire and pizza.

Safety-focused instruction covers essential self-rescue techniques—boat over boat rescue and cowboy scramble—so participants build confidence on the water.
