Due to low water conditions, we are currently CLOSED for all paddling and tubing trips until we get some rain.

This time of year, we are often able to open up for river trips after we get some rain. We usually don’t know this until the day we are able to open up, so check back with us for current conditions either here on our website or with a phone call.

In the meanwhile, we will remain open on a modified schedule for renting our Kayaks, Standup Paddleboards, Canoes, and Tubes for customers to take and do there own self-supported adventures on lakes or other rivers. Click here to make a booking for equipment rental.

You can also rent equipment and paddle it around in the relatively flat section of the Rivanna just downriver from our shop. This is a great option to have access to a river experience, and you can paddle to a beach that is nice for swimming and picnicking. This option allows you to avoid  loading equipment on your car.

We will be staffing our shop for rentals and answering the phone on the following schedule:

Saturday & Sunday: 9 am to 4 pm

Monday & Friday: 9 am to 2 pm

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: CLOSED 

We will resume our normal schedule when significant rainfall brings the river up again. We will update this webpage and post to social media to notify you if this occurs.
