Reviews
"Very nice and helpful staff at this padding company. They set up our family with kayaks, stand up paddling, and canoes. I think the price was more than fair. My downgrade of a star is really doing water sports on this river. It’s too still of a river with a lot of boat traffic. I’d recommend something more fast moving if you want river sports."
"Enjoyed canoeing this past Saturday with West River Paddling Company. People working were quickly at your service. We rented the canoe for the entire day by only putting a deposit down. In the end, it’s very nice that they only charge you for the amount of time you go instead of charging full price compared to other places. Canoeing down the river first thing in the morning was really nice due to not too many people out there…surprising for a weekend. It was a perfect day! Definitely would go back."
"It was our families first time going and they made it so easy! We had so much fun! The workers are so friendly, give great advice, answer any questions. At the end one of the gentlemen working there have my 4 daughters some popsicle’s, and food to feed the ducks! Highly recommend and will be going back!"
"Loved this place! Employees are helpful and kind. We took a 3 hour paddle up the river as newbies and we enjoyed it so much. Beautiful river and decent prices. We plan on another trip before they close up for the season"
"We went here on a spontaneous adventure. We were looking to do something that was new to the kids, outside of the house and a different form of exercise. We found all of that right here. We had to sign an online waiver. Definitely complete it before you come and definitely make a reservation now in COVID times. The people we encountered staffing the area were all really nice and very helpful towards all of our family today. They helped us in and out of the canoe and even gave us a good turnaround point for the amount of time we wanted to be out. They have multiple types of water craft to use. Next time will be tandem kayaks for us! Thanks for a friendly and fun time. Would recommend this to others. Make sure you do the online waiver, print it out and bring along. Also, make reservations as due to COVID, the availability of their craft has been reduced at the time we visited. Only issue we encountered was getting through on the phone. We left a message and they did return our call. But took a short while. Thanks for a great experience. We will be back."
