Helpful Tips & info

​ 

• If taking the 10 mile trip during the week you must arrive early enough to finish the trip by 6 pm (typically by 11 AM). There is a $10/person charge after 6 pm with an additional $10/person for each hour thereafter
• Large groups renting 10+ canoes please call for group rates (does not apply to kayak rentals)
  

• An overnight trip requires skill, knowledge, & preparation. If you call 911, they will typically call us for assistance. Please note that if you call for a non-emergency (lost your shoes, too tired, sunburn, wet gear, etc) & we have to come pick you up, it will cost a minimum of $200. It is entirely too DANGEROUS for us to navigate the air boat with other boaters on the water or in the dark just because you are unprepared. Feel free to call & ask questions so we can help you better prepare for your trip. This has become a frequent issue that we must prevent.
• Average trip times are based on leisure floating with appx 1 hour of stopping included. The more you stop the longer it will take
• Canoes are limited to 2 adults only!  $10.00 charge for 3rd Person- 3rd person must be child 12 or under & is allowed only at our discretion! 
• You will regret wearing flip flops! Water shoes are HIGHLY recommended due to the rocky riverbed. We typically carry these in our camp store.
• Bring a cooler! Pack enough food, water, etc & plan to be out there all day. Don’t forget to secure your cooler lid closed & also secure it to your boat so it doesn't float off. We also sell bungee cords in our camp store
• Pets must be on a leash at all times while in the campgrounds & in our vehicles during transport. Inform us of any pets when renting your boats. We love animals but reserve the right to refuse service/transportation if we feel the need
• Price for us to shuttle your own boat is subject to change without notice
• If you are a TN non-tax organization, please bring a copy of your tax-exempt form​
• We would like to thank all of our men & women in the U.S. Military & law enforcement by offering a 10% discount on the price of Your canoe/kayak rental – must present ID for each member​
• If you arrive at 10am on a weekend, prepare for the possibility of having to wait in line. We try to keep wait times to a minimum, but sometimes it's unavoidable during peak times. It is highly recommended to arrive as early as possible on weekends if you wish to avoid this. 
• When you rent your boats everyone in your group should be ready to launch within 10-15 minutes. In other words, please do not rent boats at 8am when half of your group still hasn't arrived & planning to launch at 11am. This causes confusion for everyone
  
• NEVER GO PAST THE BLUE ROCK-- & MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN YOUR GROUP KNOWS THIS!!!
• BE SAFE & HAVE FUN!!! That's what it's all about
