Guided Kayak Trip - Flat Water

Reservations required

Great option for young families and those who want a calming, serene experience. This circuit route has us putting-in at the Huguenot Flatwater boat launch (right under the Huguenot Bridge), meandering our way up close to the Bosher Dam (by the Willey Bridge) and then exploring backwater channels and other natural features on our way back.

We’ll enjoy the wildlife —bald eagles, blue herons, osprey…— and stop to swim and have a snack on one of the many beaches. We’ll have plenty of time and flexibility to do just about whatever you’re in the mood for.

Sit back, relax and let us guide you through one the prettiest sections of the James.

Trip duration is approx. 2 hours with extended trips available for additional fee (can include lunch).

Paddlers must be a least 10 years old and know how to swim. Non-paddlers on Canoe Trip can be as young as 8 years old and must know how to swim.

Standard trip is $50.00, $55.00 on the weekend.
