We rented kayaks and they loaded them up in the van and drove us to the drop off point. It was a lovely day to float on the river with friends. The staff were there at the end point to help us out and make sure we had all of our belongings. Looking forward to the next opportunity I have to get back here!

Their base is located near the 30th street bridge, and offer transport to a couple launch locations around Rocky Ripple. This is a great group outing since the transportation is in passenger vans for 9-10(?) people. They offer single and tandem kayaks, along with standup paddle boards and canoes. I have only rented the single occupant vessels and I typically pay around $50 or so after taxes and such for 5 mile trips. I consider this pretty good value since they take care of all the logistics for you, then you and crew just show up. They have reduced rates if you have your own vessel, since they provide transport for that. I've been here on group outings organized by Frank's, but also We Walk Indy, Women Who Explore, and Pink Paddle Club have organized outings here. All the staff I've encountered over the years are super friendly. My most recent outing was their first public outing on Fall Creek. The conditions were quite nice and the guides on the trip were helpful in navigating the small rapids. You can be sure to find me here every now and again when the weather is right!

They do not answer their phones and their policy says you must talk to the office for a cancellation. I called several days with no ability to speak with anyone. We did however book our tubing trip for the correct day. When we arrived we tried kindly explaining to the woman our situation. She was immediately combative and argumentative. She immediately went in defense mode. It was incredibly unprofessional and abrasive. We understand we made a mistake however we didn't deserve to be treated that way. Naturally we firmly and persistently argued back as we were approached in such a manner. Ultimately she did end up refunding us (allegedly - we did not receive it yet. But did get confirmation email we were refunded) but it was after a long awkward argument for really no reason. If the woman at the front office was polite from the get go we would have had a much better experience. The gentlemen who ran the tubing, said his name was Kim. He was very kind and professional. I would give this place another go because of his efforts in trying to make the situation more comfortable.

But really..... the attraction is the ownership and employees. These folks actually CARE about your stay and your experience! (Such a rare commodity these days!) Can't recommend this place enough! I highly suggest a long weekend.. ("StayCation") if you are local. And if you are in town for a concert, sporting event or just a visit..... you would be hard pressed to find a better option! No, I am not an owner or an employee. Just a guy who appreciates good people and great service!

The facility offers both 5-mile and 10-mile options, so there's something for everyone, whether you're looking for a shorter adventure or a longer journey. In addition, the pricing is very reasonable and totally worth it. Considering the beautiful scenery and the fun we had, it felt like a great deal. They make it easy to plan a day out without breaking the bank. Moreover, the customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, helpful, and ensured we had all the information we needed before hitting the water. Their instructions were clear, and they made sure we felt safe and prepared. Furthermore, the overall experience was seamless and enjoyable. From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. I highly recommend this place for group outings or celebrations--it's a fantastic way to spend a day outdoors!

You can book your reservations online however we decided to pay up at the desk due to the weather. Didn't know if it was going to rain but it turned out to be a gorgeous day. First it is required to sign a waiver then you check in. There are several options. You can choose between the 2,3,6 or 8.5 mile trek. You can rent tandem kayak, single kayak or canoe. We opted for the tandem kayak $86.00 for the both of us and we did the 6 mile round trip. You pick your life jacket, wait for your name to be called out and you take a bus. From there they will drop you off depending on what mile marker you chose. The staff makes sure to explain where to not go and when you have to be back. Make sure you are back by 7:00 pm. Once you get to the river you pick your paddle and kayak/canoe and off you go. You may hit some rough shallow spots but for the most part, it was smooth sailing. Make sure to pack a small cooler for your drinks. Stay hydrated. We also kayaked to Little Miami Brewing and had a couple of libations. That was fun! Overall the whole experience was great and I had a blast. Coming back the staff was super friendly, helpful and laid back. I would definitely come back. This place rocks.

The location was easy to find on Round Bottom Road, big grass/field parking lot and well - set up registration area. Getting signed in and life jacket was a breeze. The shuttle to the put-in outside of Miamiville for our "Fletcher" paddle was a quick ride, and our canoe, kayaks and paddles were waiting for us. A staff member was on hand at the river for those needing a push in, but otherwise it was easy to handle on our own. And we were off! There were little rapids on the way for some fun, a few "beaches" for taking a break. It was a Tuesday and we saw people paddling the whole way, but did not feel crowded at all. Saw lots fish, a few turtles and a turkey vulture. We did stop at Little Miami Brewing in Milford for a break which was fun. Return to the car was easy and again staff on hand to take your equipment. Great time and we'll definitely do it again!

Clements has been around a long time, and now I bring my kids to enjoy the cool water & summer sun. I've only ever done the 5 mile tubing trips, but they also offer longer kayaking and canoe trips plus camping. After booking online (they do have same day walk up available but are sometimes completely booked), you just show up a half hour before launch time, get life jackets, and board a bus that takes you upstream to the launch site. From there, you have all day (the 5 mile tubing trip typically takes around 4 hours) to float, swim, wade, splash & relax your way back to the rental office site. Tube rental is $25pp. Helpful hints: pack food & drinks...that's part of the fun; the cooler tube is worth it...it's got a flat bottom large enough to hold a couple small coolers (we fit a small cooler, a backpack cooler & a bag of snacks); pack sunscreen and bug spray so you're prepared for a full day of sunshine and nature; consider taking bungee cords or rope to help keep your tubes tethered so your group can stay together; also, don't wear slides or flip flops...you'll likely need to walk through the water a bit at the low points of the creek
