Northbrook Canoe Co 1810 Beagle Road, West Chester, PA 19382

"I took my sons yesterday for a 2.5 hour kayak trip. It was our first time there, but we are experienced kayakers. Luckily, we picked a beautiful day to go. I booked the reservation online a day ahead without any issues. When we arrived, there were several helpful staff members to check us in. We signed a waiver, paid a refundable $20 cash deposit, picked up our life jackets and got on a bus to the launch. That was maybe a 10/15 min drive. The staff gave us the low down on the river and where the hazards were and we were off. The water was very low in spots so we got stuck a few times. There were a lot of tubing people meandering down stream so we had to dodge a lot of people. There were some lovely swimming spots and the water was clear and cold. I would recommend bringing a couple of water bottles with you as well as a waterproof bag. You can also lock up valuables when you check in. I forgot to check out and get my $20 back so they called me. I asked them to just keep the money so they said they would donate it to the staff lunch fund. There are snacks and drinks too you can purchase on site. Bathrooms and changing rooms were very clean. Overall, a fantastic experience and we’ll definitely be back!!"

"It was a cute little place in the country side where they rent you inner tubes and drive you to a certain location on the brandywine creek and drop you off and let you float down stream at you desired time...we chose 3 hours and it was very relevant to be honest...we had a blast"

"I heard about Northbrook Canoe co. from a client of mine and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did! July 4th my little sister and I did the 1 hr Canoe rental from Embreeville. It was both of our first time canoeing; she had the time of her life! A week later I came back with a date to enjoy the Canoe and Dine with dinner included. The food was amazing, workers were generous & the night was perfect! I will definitely be coming back a third time."

"I did kayaking with my boyfriend. We were fairly new to the experience and didnt know what to expect. The workers there were super helpful though. They answered our questions and made sure we understood the instructions. We came on a sunny day with slow wind and river speeds. This meant more rowing for us but overall it was an exciting experience. I’d recommend having reliable GPS/internet connection because the network isn’t strong. Also prepare to be soaked, you’ll need extra shoes, socks and clothes. I’d definitely recommend!"

"The welcoming and fun staff, great prices (even for last minute necessities), well maintained equipment, and well-organized process made this a most excellent relaxing family fun day. The river and weather were beautiful. We all agreed we'd definitely do this again!!"
