When my family and I want to go out on a boat, we always think of Brookville Lake. And where can we…read moreget a boat? Kent's Harbor. We have been their customers a couple of times and never been disappointed. We rented the boat a few weeks in advance and stillnhad a large pontoon boat still available. They were very friendly on the phone to answer all my questions and set up the reservation. The rental for 6hr is a bit pricey but very reasonable. On the day of our reservation, we get there to find a very clean "new looking" pontoon boat that can seat 12 people. We wanted to go tubing on it and had to buy the tube for it. We brought our own water ski rope from a previous outing but the employee couldn't get it setup for us with our own rope, which took a bit of time. After a while, the manager told them to use one of theirs, no charge and gave us 20 extra min since it took so long to set the rope. That was very nice. The staff was very kind and very patient with all of us. They gave us the "extra pickle" of customer service which you don't find at some places, sadly. I will come back here every time I go to Brookville Lake, IN. TIP: Can buy bait there but not a fishing license. Can purchase online through your phone. It was $7 when I purchased a one day pass.

Shhh. Don't tell anyone, but I was driving around eastern Indiana in early October and found this…read moregem. I'll be making reservations for next summer for sure. Might even plan a trip for this winter for a weekend getaway! I ate at their restaurant, Ainsley's Cafe, and the food was very good. Service was a little spotty, but they were very busy and it has a relaxed atmosphere, so it was fine. Good crowd of nice people and families, not too snooty or pretentious. I was seated on the outside patio that was so relaxing and had an excellent view of the lake and all of the boats buzzing around on the lake. Boat rentals are available and pretty affordable.

Brookville Lake is our home lake. We live 35 minutes away and we own a boat so we spend a lot of…read moretime here. The lake itself is a little more than 5,000 Acres which is then surrounded by about 11,000 Acres of woods and picnic areas. Our main focus is fishing it is what we love to do. We were able to get out fishing about a week ago as the weather had turned nice. In the summer months the lake does get pretty busy with boaters and skiers. The first time this year we got out and caught 19 crappie and one catfish. That lake is full of catfish. We catch enough fish in the lake over the course of the fishing season to feed our family and extended family for the year. You can also find campgrounds here and you can reserve them through the Indiana DNR website. There are also hiking trails through the woods. Plenty to do if you want to get away for a week or a weekend.

Rain, hail, thunder.... We survive the trek down the white water river! Thanks for another awesome…read moreYelp event!!! And thanks to Morgan's Canoe for everything. It was my first time at Morgan's in Brookville and it was spectacular. We did the 5 mile trip and it only took is 3 hours to complete. The people there are very good explaining everything and their equipment is superb! Make sure you do the upgrade for the "plastic" canoes, worth it after seeing people struggle with their aluminum ones the rivers. Their set-up is awesome, at the end they are waiting for you with a bus to bring you back to the start. There facility is super nice.... the restrooms could use some TLC, but not a big deal.

Although we flipped, got rained & hailed on, it was a blast! Met the awesome Cindy and some…read moreawesome yelpers ;D Morgan's is a short 40 min drive from dtCincy. Met Morgan himself, such a nice fella, explained to us the diff kinds of canoes and pricing. We didn't put our valuable stuff like phones, wallet and food in a waterproof pouch or ziplog bag since we didn't think we'd flip (how hard is it to canoe, right?) But we did...our phones were donezo, sandals and sandwiches floated away, at the end of the day, we were barefeet and hangry. IN allows beer on the river so bring some and enjoy a nice refreshing adult beverage out on the water! Will definitely be back for some more canoeing or kayaking in the future!

To begin with let me tell you the entrance for this place is scary AF. It's full of old buses and…read morecars looks hideous honestly. You might think you'll get murdered here. In addition this place really needs a clean up and a redo. Even the house or building where you pay for kayaks is literally falling apart. Also I don't recommend using the restrooms here they are dirty and smell foul I think you'll be better doing it outside by the trees. Moreover price is fair and you'll definitely have fun. Also customer service was great the ladies were very nice. Also the river is about 3-4 hours long. There's some little areas where you can rest a long the way which is pretty nice. Furthermore I recommend trying this place out.

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS PLACE!! If I could give less than a…read morestar I would. Reservations needed and we made them. The wait in line to pay was still over an hour. When we loaded and got on the water A STAFF person told our crew to get our F**king A**ess on the water. A few explicit words were exchanged and we were on the water. When we got to the end THAT STAFF member called one wife a B**ch. Of course the husband went off! Next, one of the girls left a phone tied to the double kayak her and her husband shared. We went back to find the kayak and the phone was not there. I started calling the phone, we heard the phone in the woods hiding in some brush. Only staff members touch the kayaks when loaded (which the only double kayak there was). Safe to assume A STAFF member thought they had a new phone.
