We spent about five hours at Whitewater this past weekend. A nice way to relax, but be prepared for people if you do go on a weekend. May want to consider a weekday if you’re looking for a serene escape.
We parked at Pizza King & walked over as it looked like down the hill it was only for people with reservations. I will say the road doesn’t look like you are going the right way, if you know you know lol. Without reservations, we still managed to get kayaks for a group of ten (they did mention we may get canoes).
After you pay, you wait in line until they check your slip. You then grab your paddle/lifejacket & walk shortly to the river where they bring the kayak too you.
Like I said, there are quite a few people but it’s not too bad ((mainly at the pullouts (plenty of them for breaks or what not)). There are some rapids along the route but they are manageable for a beginner, not exactly a child but they have restrictions in place.
They also have a rope swing and cliff to jump from as well if that’s your thing.
To finish it out, they have a bus that picks you up at the end to take you back to where you started. All n all it’s worth doing if in the area. I’m not sure how comparable it is to others around but let me know if you have any recommendations for rivers to kayak in the U.S. as I have no knowledge on it.
**Must in the area: Dairy Cottage after (awesome chicken, mashed potatoes, and icecream!).
I hope you enjoy! – Abigail
