There are also waivers on line that must be filled out. Staff was nice and helpful. They drive you and the tubes to a spot a little down river and off you go. Tubing is always good fun, but our experience suffered a bit due to 1). The heat, and 2). The sloooow moving current. We're talkin' almost stagnant in a few spots. We did beach ourselves a few times and took a cooling swim, which was nice. Neither of the two negatives were the fault of Broken Paddles, obviously. Speaking of which, they do give you a paddle which was a must for us. We'd probably still be out on the river. We didn't go for it (we should have), but they have coolers and cooler tubes for rent for "beverages." You text or call them when you reach the "first bridge." They pick you up at their get out spot a little farther down, after the "second bridge." We ended up getting out of the tubes and wading the last 1/4 mile. They have waterproof pelican boxes you can rent or phone bags for sale. You can leave your car keys with them. Pretty sure we'd go with the kayaks next time.

The staff was super friendly! Everything was on point and easy! Can't wait to do it again!read more

Foggy Bottoms is a super cute spot with tons of charm and very friendly staff. We arrived to check in (no reservation) at 10:30am and the staff gave us a very honest warning that water levels were SUPER low. They explained the pain points of canoeing in such low water levels very thoroughly, but despite the warnings, we decided to give a go and I'm so glad we did! Because of the staffs transparency, we knew what to expect and we were prepared to encounter a few spots along the way that gave us a little trouble. All in all, it wasn't bad at all! We spent 6 hours on this 3 hour ride making tons of stops along the way to float in the inter tubes we brought along with us. Had such a great time and can't wait to come back!

I've camped with them and kayaked and it's a great experience all around! Plenty of parking, then they shuttle you to the starting point of the river. Once they get your boat into the water you make your way back and it's just such a gorgeous way to spend a summer or fall day! Pack a lunch and paddle away! Staff is kind. Fellow canoe-ers and kayak-ers are fun to talk to along the way. I think my only complaint would be that many large groups go and sometimes just sit in the middle of the river in a clump and it can be difficult to get around them. That however, is not Foggy Bottoms fault. If you are looking to get outside and do something active I highly recommend you use FB. They are convenient and a great way to spend your day. Can't wait to come back soon.

The staff is super friendly & helpful. We showed up & check-in was quick & easy. The bus took us to the launch point where we got our life jackets & boats. The equipment wasn't brand new but it was in great condition & worked perfectly. The employees at the launch ramp were very organized! The ride along the River has incredible views! It was relaxing & a lot of fun! The other renters were all friendly too! The river was high enough to where we didn't have to get out & walk (we grounded out a time or two) & we even had a couple spots where we picked up some speed! I wouldn't call it white water but we had small rapids!! This was a blast!! It's quite safe while still being a thrilling day adventure!

The location was really easy to find, once we arrived we checked in and were offered some general information about what to do and the location of changing rooms/restrooms. We were also given instructions about the route we would be floating, the vast collection of mussels we may see, and information about other wildlife we may come across, and safteg information. The launch is a quick drive from the base location. The employees were all very friendly and helpful. They got us all set up and sent us on our way. The water was shallow, but still had some nice current in places. The Duck River was extremely peaceful, and not over crowded (the spacing out between groups from Higher Pursuits helped with that greatly). Getting picked up at the end, and knowing where to stop was also made to be a breeze. Higher Pursuits runs things like a well oiled machine and really has a great system going! Between the ease of everything, the peaceful kayaking location, and the friendly customer service I could not have asked for a better experience!

We made reservations for 9:30 AM on a Saturday morning as we wanted to get ahead of the crowds on the river and we did just that! The folks at Canoe Music City were all super chill, friendly and helpful from the window to the water. Most of us rented canoes, while a few of us rented the kayaks. I will say the ones who rented the kayaks had a better time, as the canoes were a bit smaller than I am used to and the balance was easy to throw off. But, they got us to and from and down the river as needed, so we weren't too upset! They have differing lengths you can cruise, we chose the 5 mile. The price for a canoe is $55 while the Kayak will run you $45 each. Just as all the other spots, they load you up at the cabin, drive you a few miles to the drop point and then pick you up at the end point. It is a pretty seamless process, just make sure someone has their phone as you do have to call to be picked up at the end. Not that Music City Canoe has anything to do with the river itself, but there are several spots along the trek that allows you and your group to pull off and relax whether it be at the gorgeous waterfall or the small beach. We spent a total of 4.5 hours lazily cruising down the river and we loved every minute of it! Oh, and for those who are wondering...you can bring your dogs and booze is allowed on the river. And you can bring your own kayak/canoe, but they do charge you to transport it to and from with your group. Overall, great way to spend a weekend day!

You can make a reservation without providing a credit card number which is nice for big groups and the pricing isn't bad at all.

They have a 5 mile and 7 mile float, we've always done the 7 mile and it's perfect. Plenty of stops along the way to eat or relax in the water. I can't wait for our next trip.
