Opening weekend was slow due to rain and cool temperatures and a software glitch showing we were sold out, ugh. The second weekend is predicted to be cool however the river levels are fantastic so I hope kayakers will take advantage of the super conditions. We are working hard to educate the new team members about our operation and kayaking on the Kalamazoo River.
If you kayaked with us last year you know we had a challenge with the low river levels. Let’s hope conditions are more normal as our equiptment was damaged as the kayaks drag on the bottom of the river. The tandem kayaks are the biggest challenge as you would expect. We added two new tandems as our old fleet could no longer be patched.
We are selling a few snacks and boxed water as suggested by customers last year. There are times you might forget your water bottle so it only makes sense to ensure you have water while you are on the river. We always offer cold water in the kayak barn for refills so bring your water bottles when kayaking. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your experience doing business with us better. We appreciate your business and will work hard to make “kayaking easy” when renting from us!
