Great kayak trip

We had a good experience here. No shop with items to buy, no dressing rooms, and only port-o-lets. However, friendly service, descent kayaks, paddles and life jackets, assist in getting in water and a great price (about $15 less than some local competitors) Beautiful part of the river that I had not yet paddled. If you are looking for an over all bargain, this is your place. I'll definitely be back!

We went on a Sunday. It was a family trip but just two teenagers, mom and dad this time. The river was pretty high but it would still be an ok beginner trip. The two teenagers were each in their own kayaks and did just fine. There is a great spot about 2 miles in that would be good for a picnic or rest. Also, plenty of wildlife in the area. We saw a log with 5 turtles on it. The trip was a 5.2 mile trip and definitely a competitive price. Owner is on site at the sign up building and the customer service is great. The kayaks are is great shape. The team loads up oars for you so you don't have to carry one unless you are canoeing. We loaded up on the bus and were at the drop point in no time. Note, the drop point is a pretty busy local park but you're able to get on the water without much interference and there are stone stairs to the water which helps of you have smaller children. I will definitely recommend Bellebrook Canoe to friends. Thanks for a great trip!

We rented two kayaks. The price was reasonable and the stretch of river was perfect. Reserved online and signed the waivers. Easy peasy!

We had a good time. Kayaks were so so. For the money kayaks should be in better shape. They gave no help launching.

I'll just state that they run a very efficient program here. The kayaks and transports for the…read moreequipment are some of the newest and nicest we've seen. Can ride was quick for the shorter 1.5-3hr trip. River was nice and calm and very few people so for me it was perfect. The scenery is nice. There are a few spots that we got stuck but it's part of the entertainment. This was the 1st time we've been here even though we grew up and have lived less than 10miles from here our entire lives. The folks running the show weren't very friendly but maybe they were having a bad day. I did enjoy the peaceful float down the river and then we dropped by Corwin and had lunch and ice cream.

We had some bumps along the way, but otherwise, canoeing and kayaking with RiversEdge Outfitters was great! When I found out that we were doing the 9m ride I thought for sure it would be exhausting. But it was actually pretty relaxing and didn't notice how fast the time was passing. I also GREATLY appreciated the fact that they sold waterproof gear on site. Shoes, containers, phone bags...etc. I happen to forget my waterproof pouch for my phone and had a thought, "Oh, it'll be fine...I won't tip..." Changed my mind at the last minute before we got on the shuttle and man, I am GLAD I did...because when you say, "Oh, I won't tip..." You end up tipping. Thank you RiversEdge for a great time! : )

HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING IF YOUR CONSIDERING DOING ANY BUSINESS HERE!I have gone to Tippecanoe and…read moreKayaks Too twice. The first time I went was for my dad's 50th birthday with about an 11 person party. We arrive that day and the bus for our trip runs over an hour late to take us to the start point when they did there was a soccer tournament going on at the drop off point so we all had to drag our kayaks a good distance across multiple soccer field areas to start our trip. When we talked to the staff about our experience they told us the owner would reach out to us then he didn't and we called him asking him to give us a call then he still didn't. Hoping that was just a bad day for them I decided to try this place one more time with a smaller group of me, my boyfriend and my dog. During our trip our canoe flipped about .25 miles from end of the trip when my boyfriend moved to grab something out of the bag we brought. Once we flipped we tried flipping the canoe back over but their canoes don't have plugs to let the water held in the boat back out so the boat started to sink which we were holding onto to help us float in heavy current water that was about 15 ft deep. We were saved by people who don't work for the company who were fishing off to the side after about 8 minutes of us floating down the river. They thankfully had kayaks to come save us and our dog. After we were recused they attempted calling tippecanoe multiple times with no answer so they kayaked to the end to finally get a worker to help rescue us. As the staff got us to the landing area they were immediately only concerned about their money. Absolutely not their traumatized customers who lost all their personal belongings and almost so much more than that. I highly recommend if you care for your safety to not do business here as they have zero staff along the river to ensure you don't drown in the very possible situation like Green Acres and many other local Kayaking places do. Attached are photos of their email response to my trip (also asked them to call me and only got an email saying this) and my response back to that email. I have never left a review I had to make an account to even do this but after my experience with this company I would hate for anyone to experience a similar situation or worse one because of the neglect and unawareness of this company.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The 5-mile was a lot of fun. Nice e kayaks as well.read more
