About

Our 11-mile trip offers a wonderful way to experience the natural beauty of Coldwater! On this trip we offer single kayaks, duo kayaks, canoeing w/o seatbacks, canoes with seatbacks and stand-up paddleboarding. We also have cooler tubes (4-mile trip only). Life jackets and paddles are included in your equipment rental. We do not transport personal crafts. Select one of our classic regular canoes or upgrade to a canoe with seatbacks for added comfort!

Requirements

• Age: There are no specific age restrictions on river activities, ** however we do require that you bring your personal, Coast Guard approved life jacket for any children in your party to ensure a proper fit. Children 6 and under are required by law to wear a life jacket at all times while on watercraft.
• Weight - The maximum weight for our kayaks and tubes is 250 lbs. Canoes have a maximum capacity of 500 lbs. Coolers should be limited to one 48 quart sized cooler or smaller. Please limit gear to avoid tipping and/or loss of personal items. Kids 10 and under may ride in the middle of a canoe sitting on the floor, not on the thwarts or on top of a cooler. No more than 2 children in the middle of a canoe. Due to the paddling skills required to properly canoe, we highly recommend you research proper canoeing techniques and safety prior to your trip. Adventures Unlimited staff will also assist with instruction on the day of arrival if requested.

Rules

• No Glass Bottles or Styrofoam Containers are allowed
• No more than 3 alcoholic drinks (12oz can) per legal adult are permitted; for safety reasons, AUOC reserves the right to check coolers prior to your departure. Additionally, no open containers are allowed in our vehicles when you are being transported to the drop point for your trip.

More info

If you are a first-time paddler, are not in good physical condition, or are not a strong swimmer, we recommend the 4-mile trip. Please note that river depths can reach greater than 6 feet in some parts, thus we urge guests with limited swimming experience or low stamina to exercise caution when selecting their adventure.

What to bring

• The most commonly lost items on the river are car keys, wallets, cell phones and glasses so please plan carefully regarding those items.
• We recommend bringing sunscreen, bug spray, water, and a picnic lunch. You are more than welcome to bring a cooler;
• NO STYROFOAM OR GLASS ALLOWED ON THE RIVER.
• Canoes will hold up to a 48-gallon cooler; small, soft side coolers work best for kayaks, and we have cooler tubes ($15.90 – 4-mile trip only).

Can I bring my dog You are more than welcome to bring your dog to Adventures Unlimited, as they are welcome on the river and in our designated “pet-friendly” accommodations. Pets must be collared and leashed while on our property and while being transported in our vehicles. As a friendly reminder, please remember to pick up after your dog. The cost to take a pet on the river is $10, payable in the Shop. The most comfortable craft to take your dog in is a canoe, however, smaller dogs are comfortable in a kayak, as well.
