tours require some canoeing
experience and will add a
different spin on a typical
canoe trip. A guaranteed good
time!
Recreation Area

location is perfect for
large or small group
picnics. Strategically
located at the end of the

afternoon, after your
outing. Reserve the area
for your company , social
group , family, auxiliary,

The Lower Trip
Approximately 2-4 Hours
Your trip will begin the same way the Sampler does
and you will continue to past the I-71 bridges for
several more miles into more rural areas. After
passing under U.S. 62 the trip wanders near the Old
Harrisburg Mill which was a registered building of the
Bicentennial Celebration tour. During the spring or
after a good rain, the flow on the lower trip offers
exciting rapid sections and technical turns for more
experienced paddlers. Your trip will end at St. Rt.
762 at the old fashioned tressel bridge built during
the 1800's. We will pick you up in shuttle vans and
bring you back to the canoe livery.
Cool! Forget about
shuffling and chasing
different vehicles up and
down unchartered roads.
Park at our place and let us
shuttle you upstream or
down for $10.00 per boat.
If you bring friends and
rent two canoes, one
shuttle is completely FREE.
