Trip Information

Your trip begins by calling (540) 478 - 5032 and setting up your boat launch time. All trips are by appointment only. Same day appointments are available on some dates. It is best to reserve in advance.

We do not have time restrictions on your trip, however we do ask that all participants be out of the water by 5:00 P.M. We generally stop launching boats around 1:00 P.M.

Be sure to bring sunscreen, cell phones, drinks and snacks, proper foot wear (no flip flops or heel less shoes), fishing gear (if fishing), spare dry clothes and towels. Please leave your valuables at home.

We will cater special trips with 5 or more boat rentals and we will haul your kayak or canoe on our trips.

Our Beginner / Fishing Without A Lot Of Paddling Trip This trip is offered for those who may want to try canoeing or kayaking without having to spend hours doing something you are not comfortable with. This trip is also great for those that want to take your children fishing: more so than canoeing. The pick up spot offers approximately .5 mile of calm water you can navigate north and south relatively easy in. This trip is very calm and the fishing is great.
