- Two Night Canoe Trip
- Overnight Canoe Trips are the real way of getting back to nature. This is real woods camping not like conventional campgrounds. Experience a night on a secluded beach: just you, your party, and our friendly Mother Nature. You will load equipment & supplies onto our vehicle. We will transport you, canoe and your supplies upstream to the launch point of the canoe trip. At this point you will pack into your canoe and head downstream, stopping wherever you would like to camp for the night. Packing back into your canoe the next day to head downstream again and ending back at your vehicle. [The more nights of camping, the farther upstream we take you.] Bring all your own gear or rent from us...no coolers any longer than 28 inches allowed.
What to Bring
- Appropriate dress for swimming and sunning, suntan lotion, plenty to eat and drink, and litter bags to help keep the river clean.
- These items are available at the BLACKWATER CANOE OUTPOST
