About
Come out and enjoy the experience of camping out on a sandbar on the river. Adventures Unlimited Outdoor Center offers 1- or 2-night trips. Pack your camping gear, and we will transport you (along with our canoe/kayak, paddles and life jackets) and your gear upstream to a put-in point. You will paddle downstream until you find that perfect spot to set up camp on. On a clear night, you will be able to stargaze without any streetlights to disturb your view. The 1 night trip is 11 miles.
Requirements
- **Age:** There are no specific age restrictions on river activities, ** however we do require that you bring your personal, Coast Guard approved life jacket for any children in your party to ensure a proper fit. Children 6 and under are required by law to wear a life jacket at all times while on watercraft.
- **Weight** - The maximum weight for our kayaks and tubes is 250 lbs. Canoes have a maximum capacity of 500 lbs. Coolers should be limited to one 48 quart sized cooler or smaller. Please limit gear to avoid tipping and/or loss of personal items. Kids 10 and under may ride in the middle of a canoe sitting on the floor, not on the thwarts or on top of a cooler. No more than 2 children in the middle of a canoe. Due to the paddling skills required to properly canoe, we highly recommend you research proper canoeing techniques and safety prior to your trip. Adventures Unlimited staff will also assist with instruction on the day of arrival if requested.
Rules
- No Glass Bottles or Styrofoam Containers are allowed
- No more than 3 alcoholic drinks (12oz can) per legal adult are permitted; for safety reasons, AUOC reserves the right to check coolers prior to your departure. Additionally, no open containers are allowed in our vehicles when you are being transported to the drop point for your trip.
More info
If you are a first-time paddler, are not in good physical condition, or are not a strong swimmer, we recommend the 4-mile trip. Please note that river depths can reach greater than 6 feet in some parts, thus we urge guests with limited swimming experience or low stamina to exercise caution when selecting their adventure.
What to bring
- The most commonly lost items on the river are car keys, wallets, cell phones and glasses so please plan carefully regarding those items.
- We recommend bringing sunscreen, bug spray, water, and a picnic lunch. You are more than welcome to bring a cooler;
- NO STYROFOAM OR GLASS ALLOWED ON THE RIVER.
- Canoes will hold up to a 48-gallon cooler; small, soft side coolers work best for kayaks, and we have cooler tubes ($15.90 – 4-mile trip only).
**Can I bring my dog**
You are more than welcome to bring your dog to Adventures Unlimited, as they are welcome on the river and in our designated “pet-friendly” accommodations. Pets must be collared and leashed while on our property and while being transported in our vehicles. As a friendly reminder, please remember to pick up after your dog. The cost to take a pet on the river is $10, payable in the Shop. The most comfortable craft to take your dog in is a canoe, however, smaller dogs are comfortable in a kayak, as well.

##FOR OVERNIGHT CANOE/KAYAK TRIPS
**When you arrive:**
- Please leave your coolers and belongings in your vehicle. Come up the ramp to the office to check in for your trip, and say the magic word “Prepaid.” If everyone 16 and older has not already signed the river waiver ahead of time, they will all need to come sign the river contract at the office upon check in. We will have your river contract ready (with the pink carbon copy) inside the office; please do not fill out a blank contract outside (with the yellow carbon copy), which are intended for walk-ins only.
- Once you have checked in with the office and given us all signatures, you will then grab your own equipment (paddles and life jackets).
- Once you have your equipment, please check in with our staff at the loading dock using your pink carbon copy receipt. This step puts you on the transport list.
- Now you will get into your own vehicle and park in the “Overnight Parking Area” (directions will be given to you upon check in).
- Wait here for your driver to pick you up. You may either unload your gear while waiting to organize, or you may wait until the driver arrives to directly load into their vehicle.
**When you complete your trip:**
- Please return the equipment to its proper location (paddles and life jackets).
- Walk to your vehicle, and you may drive it to the landing where you get out of the river to load all your gear.
- Be safe driving
