There's a nice sandy beach where you can set up your things. If you need it there are shaded and unshaded picnic tables on the pavement and bike racks to lock up your bikes nearby. Lots of ducks and geese so watch for poop bombs but not that bad. Overall a clean park. We noticed scuba divers, fishermen, magnet fishers, kayakers, and lots of paddle boards. The water is pretty clear and clean and is on the cooler side. There are rentals available if you want to pick up a paddle board or bring your own. On the hot summer weekends, get there before 11am because there is little to no parking after noon.

I took a Burn 3 out for a demo ($25/day rental) and the staff were all really helpful and courteous, even letting us store one of our boats there for the day. Head over to Alpenglow (another nice shop) if you want a Jackson Kayak (my brand of choice), but come here for Pyranha, Dagger, and Liquid Logic. They also have a large selection of SUPs and inflatables. Highly recommended!

The water was moving pretty good, if I had to guess somewhere around 1.75 to 2.5 mph, but I was still able to get a workout and my best Mile split time was returning in the current, I took a lot of pictures along the way. I paddle all over the country, and in many other countries, I like to record my Paddle, especially first time, and transfer it from my Garmin watch to the relive app. This app creates a video of the trail and any pictures taken along the way or Geos stamped on the trail while you watch the video. It's really amazing. This park was clean, self service for Park entry if the booth is closed. Nice restrooms. Apple parking and it was mowed later in the week so it really looked nice.

I wanna start off by saying I genuinely appreciate how Jason (owner of Hydrus) took the time to…read morepersonally call me and answer all my questions before I purchased my board. Seriously, which other paddle board company has an owner who spends ~20 minutes talking to a potential client about any concerns or questions they may have. If that doesn't scream AMAZING costumer service then I don't know what does. If you spend a few minutes looking on Reddit you'll find that people HIGHLY recommend Hydrus and with good reason. Not only do you get high quality customer service, an awesome board, great price, but you also help a small family company. Not to mention you also get a lifetime warranty, which is unheard of for paddle boards. If you're considering getting a Hydrus board, go ahead and just get one, you'll be happy that you did. TL;DR: Small family owned business, superb customer service, great quality/price and LIFETIME warranty for workmanship.

The river is inspiring. Canyons really took care of us. We were super comfortable both on the river and camping. The staff was so professional, fun and accommodating.

I also really loved that you can "choose your own adventure" each day. If you want an exciting, big splashy, adrenaline rush, you can go for it. If you would rather chill and keep your river experience mellow, you can do that too. Canyons exceeded my expectations on all fronts.

We claimed them as "our shop" after the great service we received and upgraded gear suited to our riding styles and needs. Mike is very generous is giving each customer the attention they need. This is a small hometown shop and customers need to excessive patience and friendliness to get their turn in receiving this service! From my first phone call to check on binding mounting and boot fitting I was impressed with their flexibility and desire to make these happen as soon as possible. After coming in for these services we were treated like family, and spent some time in the lounge getting custom fit in ski and snowboard boots, along with the best prices in town.
