You will be taken to the Ballard Ford river access point. We provide the kayak. It should be a 4.5 to 5 hour trip. The Kayak trips are not guided. After signing up for the trip of your choice we will go over basic safety procedures, review your river trip with you, and provide basic paddling instructions for novice paddlers. All our trips start up river and float back to our base, so take your time and finish at your leisure. We do not have set departure times either, we go when you are ready. We like to say we run on your schedule and don’t make you run on ours. So, when you’re ready, you will be transported to the launch site of your trip and cast forth upon the waters. Please note: the time indicated for each trip is the approximate paddle time for kayaks paddling at a steady but leisurely pace under normal river conditions. If you are fishing, just floating, or the river is low then trips will of course take longer. We find it’s better to go a little too short than a little too far, so try not to be overly ambitious when selecting the length of your float. If your staying at any of the other campgrounds feel welcome to come and take a kayak trip just reserve with Hipcamp. "MINIMUM AGE 5 YEARS, NO EXCEPTIONS"
