Kinni Creek Lodge and Outfitters Fly Shop

"Myself and sister-in-law did the three hour KAYAK trip on the upper kinni, Thur Aug 3 at 10:30a. It was a lovely day; only passed one other group doing the shorter route. We didn't even really have to paddle much. Just enjoyed the scenery. However, that did add 45 min to our end time. The current clipped along at a nice leisurely pace, handful of low level rapids (easy enough), some downed trees (nothing that fully blocked route) and a couple of manageable shallow spots. Lovely! We found the staff to be friendly, helpful and efficient especially our shuttle driver BRIAN (very nice young man). I think if you know what to expect (read the website info) and have an idea of what kayaking is, you should have a great day!"

"First off, I would like to state that the experience of kayaking down the Kinnikinnick River was amazing and such a beautiful adventure. That said, the experience of dealing with Paige at the outfitting lodge was absolutely terrible. I’ve never met anyone that’s in a customer service role that has treated people so poorly and rudely in my life. Within a few minutes of arriving at the outfitting lodge, we were almost ready to turn around and end our excursion for the day. We arrived 10 minutes early and were harshly greeted for showing up early, and from there, it was constant condescending remarks of quote “as stated over the phone” and “read the fine print online.” My husband, parents, and grandma were new to kayaking and felt unsafe asking questions due to Paige’s snapback-rude passive-aggressive responses. I understand Paige’s tone and attitude towards our group may be from wanting to keep everyone safe. Still, instead, she created an unsafe environment and seriously needs a 101 course on how to communicate with other human beings respectfully. Hopefully, this was Paige having a bad day, and customers will have a better experience moving forward. But I would recommend anyone against coming here until these issues resolve."

"Such a fun day on the River! We were so impressed with how beautiful the scenery was. We noticed there was no trash which was refreshing! The 1 1/2 tour was the perfect amount of time. It was challenging in some areas but fun to navigate around. We were informed we would face a few challenges and had a lot of fun doing so! We left a message at 8:00 pm to set up reservation for the next day and had a call back at 8:00 am confirming. Great follow up and direction. Highly recommend!"

"This was a good company to bring you out on the river. The river goes through town and this is a good place since they are literally on the shore of the Kinnickinnic river. They bring you up river so you don't have to walk and get to go down a good portion of the river. Price was not too bad and worth the adventure. The river has lots of places that has logs and rocks so be careful. The river is certainly not boring to go down."

"My second extended stay at Kinni Creek Lodge. Both times have been an absolutely wonderful experience. Clean cabin, secure, plenty of space, and a beautiful view of Kinni Creek. The back deck/patio area is great for relaxing and enjoying the wildlife. It is a short walk to town and the many walking paths. Thank you Paige, for another great experience."
