Our canoes are 17’ aluminum, are very stable, and we don’t charge for a person or two riding in the middle. The rafts hold six to eight people and will not tip over in the river. Tubes are great fun in the warm weather, especially when combined with the rafts. Our Old Town Kayaks are very maneuverable and are great fun when combined with canoes, and your group “take turns” with them.

Weekdays and Sundays are always the quietest days, with very few people on the Manistee River. Saturday canoeing is the busiest, so a reservation deposit of $20.00 per canoe is encouraged. Times are based on a canoe rental and without stopping. Rafts and tubes are slower than times listed. |
