 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the two hour paddle and loved it! The river was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. There was lots of wildlife to look at - birds, turtles and a beaver! Prices were very affordable, we will return next time we are in the area. Remember to keep left on the rapids! Haha
