Rental Basics

We offer two trips... 8 and 3 Mile Trips
This keeps our expenses down, which we pass on to the customer.

8 mile trip is the most popular at all canoe rentals...
(3 - 5 hours of leisure paddle)

3 mile trip is most often used for those arriving late in the day
or those with very young children.

Rentals include a river map, two paddles per Canoe, life vests, safe
parking and a safety talk . There are no hidden fees.


Prices based per aluminum canoe.
A canoe holds a maximum of 3 adults or 2 adults & 2-3 small children

It is a perfect example of how clean the Whitewater River is.


Whitewater Cleanliness
The Lower 8.26 miles of Stream

According to the Ohio EPA 2006 Integrated Report, "Biological and water quality monitoring conducted in the Whitewater River mainstream assessment unit (lower 8.26 miles of stream located in Ohio) in 1995 and 1996 showed full attainment of the designated EWH aquatic life use based on biological criteria.  This is one of the few large Ohio rivers with 100% attainment of the aquatic life use and that supports exceptional aquatic communities."  This makes the Whitewater River one of the cleanest rivers in the state of Ohio.
