When we arrived, the staff was friendly and helped us get settled on the water. Two hours was the right amount of time. One hour would have been too short, but we were definitely tired by the end of two. One of the best things about this place is that it's already located on the water. You don't need to worry about hauling anything or finding somewhere to enter into the river. I'll definitely come back when I'm ready to go back out on the river.

I booked a moonlight paddle and from beginning to end, it was Ah-Maze-Ing! The staff was incredible. They were all so cheerful and helpful from check in all the way to check out. We grabbed a beer at the beer porch at check in and let me tell you, this place is adorable. The bar is set up in a tiki style and they offer several beers selections on draft as well as in bottles. After a quick walk down to the water front, we were assisted with getting our paddle boards in the water. We paddled for 2 hours and watched the sun set. The vantage point from river offered beautiful views of the sunset over our pretty city. Once we were finished, we paddled in and were helped out of the water. We never had to carry anything! You can rent paddle boards, single and tandem kayaks, and hydro-bikes. The rates are reasonable, the staff is friendly, and there is so much fun to be had. Oh, and Wednesday's they offer half price rentals!

When I was there last week, workers made sure to carry our kayaks to the launch, help us put in and out and did it with a smile. Today: the girls working were there for social hour. The one that was supposed to be at the boat house obviously didn't want to be. When asked if we could use the new launch, she said she didn't want to carry the kayak that far. The new lunch in the dock is a wonderful feature and much easier to get in and out of your kayaks. Upon our return, there was no one at the boat house to help our party or a party of paddle boarders. We had to move our boats to make room for others to come in. When we went to return our life vests and paddles, the one who was supposed to be at the boat house was inside chatting. We commented that the service was subpar compared to previous visits. She commented back that it was too hot to be out there. It was VERY clear she didn't want to be there and had quite the poor work ethic and attitude. I really hope management investigate this further. Other employees have been wonderful.
