This was our first time here ever! The water, of course absolutely stunning. Driving out on the bar…read morewas such a fun experience and we found parking nice and easy because we got there very early. We did forget our cooler but other people were well prepared and we're quick to provide us with anything we asked for out of basic necessity like one single bottle of water. we were going out on a standard little inflatable boat, nothing fancy and we were out on the water for maybe an hour, but we did give up and go in because the jet skis are an issue. Everyone has a jet ski, there's so many jet skis! As we were packing up, the sheriff showed up and was starting to crack down on them, looking at lifejackets and parking permits, and some of them were starting to leave thank goodness, but we had already had our fill of their noise. Several of the jet skis were coming extremely close to our boat, which of course we don't have the reactivity that they do since we were motorless, and it felt incredibly uncomfortable overall. The view was gorgeous for three dollars. It was a fun experience and I definitely would come back and enjoy looking at other parts of the park. If you come prepared in the morning and set up a clear space for you and your loved ones this could be a fun all day experience, but don't be afraid to stand your ground against the jet skiers as They need to follow the rules and respect everyone's boundaries and safety. There was plenty of parking and there's a vault toilet on site by the bar so that was convenient too.

You can take the tubes wherever you want which is nice. They're super easy to blow up and have a mesh bottom to hold your belongings close by/shield your bum from rocks. He gave us a hand pump to use to blow them up when we arrive at our location. Drop off was just as easy, we texted him when we were 5 minutes away and he came outside when we needed to drop off! Would definitely rent from him again if we are ever in the area!

I called Bryan and he was totally fine with us being early. It ended up taking us an hour longer than we thought to drop our car off at Barton Park. But Bryan was waiting for us when we got there. The process was very easy and fast. He had everything ready for us and offered us life jackets since we didn't have quite enough for our group. The tubes were a lot of fun and held up, even going over some parts that were shallow and rocky. We will rent from Bryan again if we float the river again. Great experience!

We weren't sure if we would even be able to stand up on the thing. Our instructor was so good at explaining how to do everything we both got up on the first try, didn't off the board and felt like we could have stayed out there all day cruising around. Everyone was so friendly in the shop, can't wait to go back there and get on the water again.

Poor service, policies, and safety mindset. Booked the city lights night paddle for 3 people…read moreincluding myself. Crazy rain storm moved in and a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for Clackamas County during the time we were supposed to be on the river. When I called five hours before we were supposed to launch to ask what their plan was, they said they'd let us know only 15 minutes before we were supposed to arrive. My friends and I all live a decent drive away and felt that notice was insufficient. And in general, we felt that approach was unsafe since the storm was expected to last right up to our departure time. National Weather Service showed the warning would expire only 20 minutes before our set departure time. The woman on the phone told me she heard the storm was going to be over four hours before that. When I asked where she heard that, she literally said her phone's weather app and her mom. (I should have asked who her mom was!) *eye roll* Idk, this wasn't like, "it's raining a little and I don't want to paddle" kind of last-minute cancellation. This was a potentially very dangerous situation and this company chose profits over people. They wouldn't even issue me a credit when I explained we felt unsafe paddling under those conditions, and that we wanted to know about the plan in a more reasonable timeframe. It's really a shame because I was excited to go out with them. They lost my business for life.
