This place and one of the owners is amazing. My gf and i recently went last sunday, we had about 2…read moremiles left, before it Started to Thunder and lightning and rain like crazy. While we were Out of our kayaks waiting for the storm to dissipate. We called one of the. owners because we're a panicking and we didn't know what to do. He calmed us down and he checked the radar for us and said it should be passing in about 20. minutes from the time we spoke to him. he was willing to pick us up at mile marker eight. We were at mile markers 7.5. We couldn't find the landing for where he was going to pick us up. So We decided just to troop it out and finish the course until we. reached our car. We had about two miles left.. When we Finally got there, the owner was waiting for us and helped us out. get our kayaks out. You saw they were soaking wet from the storm. You felt really bad for us And since he saw how wet we were, was nice enough to give us a blanket. I can't remember his name, but my name is Derek and my girlfriend's name is Julie. And I believe he will remember us from this story. But he was very nice and courteous and professional. And no doubt will we be back. Love this place. You won't regret going there.

We had a great day with carried away outfitters! The staff is super friendly and accommodating…read more They have really nice sit on top kayaks. They also offer you extra things that you might need like a dry bag. The driver was very polite and put all our kayaks into the water for us. We did the 8 mile run and it took almost 4 hours. Highly recommend!

The path is full of boats and houses. If you're looking for a peaceful path full of trees and nature, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a simple place to kayak for an hour or 2, this is a great option.

A lady with a clipboard standing near a picnic table, which we were supposed to know worked there, but didn't know because it was our first time. And she wasn't wearing anything like a labeled shirt that would inform us she worked there. Also being our first time there we were not familiar with the route of the river and no one asked us or offered advice. When I did ask them which way to go, I was asked "Didn't you see the map?" Apparently I was supposed to see a map mural on the side of the building, but missed it when trying to figure out how to checkin. They also didn't mention the whitecaps in the lake or that there were restaurants along the way. The river route was very busy with boaters and other kayakers. There was also a very low bridge you have to duck under. On the positive side, we found it was nice to be able to kayak to the Castaways restaurant. They have a public kayak dock to pull up to, it was great. They have good food too. It was okay, but not welcoming for new people who are not familiar with the area.

I figured I would start off my staycation with a nice day of kayaking so I figured a nice paddle…read morefrom Kent to Cuyahoga Falls would be fun. I went online to Paddletheriver.com to book the trip with Burning River Adventures, making the reservation was easy, you can even do the waiver online to make the trip easier. Since I have my own kayak booking the 6 mile trip only cost $15. I arrived at the Waterworks Park in Cuyahoga Falls without much trouble, it is a couple of miles from the downtown exit of Route 8. Burning River does not have a permanent building at the park, but they do meet you at the boat ramp location with a van with trailer and a mobile office. Check in was easy and the driver helped me to load my kayak on the trailer, he also pointed out where to park and the bathroom nearby. When the other groups who were going had arrived we got the safety talk and advise on how to paddle the section of river we would be covering. We then loaded up the van and headed out. We got to the Middlebury Road river access point which is the put in for the 4 mile trip that the rest of the guests were taking. Not only did the driver get everything unloaded, but he got into the river and all of the people loaded into their kayaks and going on the river; this was very helpful as the put in seemed a bit steep. I did note that they put GPS trackers on the rental kayaks so they would know when they were coming to the takeout location and could help them out. After that we drove the rest of the way to the Kramer Field river access location in Kent; I was hoping we were going a bit further up river to the John Brown Tannery Park location, but the difference is only about 1/4 mile. The put in here is very narrow and steep so I was glad to have help getting my kayak to the river. Once to the river I had time to get myself all setup and launch right under the bridge. From Kent downriver to Cuyahoga Falls in an interesting run, there are nice mellow stretches with some occasional rapids. The river mostly stays in a shallow ravine with plenty of woods and vegetation. The feel is that you are in the wild even though you are actually passing through some fairly populous cities. You do pass a number of houses that back up to the river, but they are few and far between. The river overall is a great paddle, with nothing too challenging; with the water levels pretty high from recent rain there was one small section of whitewater just as I was coming into Newton Falls that did give me a pretty sizeable spash. During the trip I saw a number of Blue Herons, some turtles, deer and a falcon. The bridge at Newton Falls is being rebuilt, but it is easy to still go underneath. Arriving into Waterworks Park you still have about 1/2 mile until you get to the takeout ramp. Luckily the driver was there to help me get out of the kayak and then get the kayak up to my car. I would recommend Burning River Adventures as a great outfitter if you are looking to get out and have some fun paddling on the Cuyahoga River. The run from Kent to Cuyahoga Falls is a nice section of the river. Burning River uses very nice sit on top kayaks which are easy to get on and off. The staff is friendly and knowledgably, plus they do a good job of getting newer kayakers on the river in a safe manner. For those who have their own kayak the cost is very reasonable to get a shuttle up river and your car is located at the takeout which is very convenient. Get out there and enjoy yourself. We are lucky enough to have some great recreational opportunities in this area and the Cuyahoga River has opened up a lot of places to access the river.

We were short on time, but we did it anyway. We decided to paddle the entire time to speed it up. The driver who took us up stream was friendly and he chatted with us during the drive. Then he put our kayaks in the water and helped us board them. After paddling the entire time, it took us less than 1.5 hours to complete the trip. My daughter was happy because she had plans that evening. The river was scenic, there weren't a lot of people on it, and I'd definitely do this again. There were some shallow areas in the river where my kayak touched the bottom, but I was able to paddle out of it. Good times!

Staff is not well trained, check in…read moreprocess was slow, staff was rude, waited for the bus ride to the start... then Ernie was rude when we returned stating he and his staff would like to go home on time. Well I would have loved to start my reservation at the correct time and not delay your staff. I was late 20 minutes like you were 20 minutes on my reservation. If your delay made it to where my family and I could not enjoy ourselves on the water then you should have not let us start in the first place. We were not warned that our time was being cut short. I will not return to this location or any business that's states "Ernie" on the building as he kept pointing out. Canal Fulton canoe livery kayaks are well maintained and the staff are friendly. We will be recommending them to friends and family and avoiding this location for now on. So if you're thinking about kayaking here, look into canal Fulton... same water, better staff, better pricing, better trip!!!

Water was calm on our ride, but the 2nd we stopped paddling, these kayaks were immediately start to turn sideways or backwards. My son's kayak had a completely jammed seat back rendering it useless and his foot holders were broken so he got a sore back half way through the ride. My daughter's foot holders also broken. Lesson learned, assess the kayaks ur gonna have before they load them on the trailer or just take ur own if an option.

When I went to pay I told her I've never done this before and she talked to me like I was stupid. All I wanted to know was the prices and how many could go in each size. She was nasty about it and I bit my tongue because I didn't want to make a scene. After we got back it was a hassle to get our IDs back and one girl, maybe a bartender? Came out and started yelling at my friend because she had a beer. We just came off the canoe and were finishing our drinks. She acted like we were just sitting there to keep drinking and avoid paying at the bar. I just got done with the rude lady about the IDs and then after the bartender came out I couldn't handle their rudeness anymore. You would think after all the business we brought them we would be treated better. And I'm not asking for special treatment. I'm just asking for them to treat us with respect and no attitude. For these reasons we will not be coming back. After I shared this experience with friends I found out there's better places to go canoeing so we will go there instead.
