If you are a family with kids, and/or are inexperienced on the water, PLEASE ask detailed questions about water conditions and make sure this outfitter takes a good look at your party. We were ill-informed, and our fun day trip turned into a nightmare when our canoe overturned in currents after hitting a rock. We had our two little ones with us, and thank God for our lifejackets! This happened the last week of August 2014, and just now am I able to even write about the experience. I was terrified, we lost belongings, but worst of all we had to see our babies in danger. They then sent a canoe to rescue us, which was a traumatic experience as the young lady sent to help us was struggling to maintain control in yet more rapids! The owner has admitted that the young man who delivered our boat to the launch point in Glen Morris should have observed us more closely, and he has done the right thing by inviting us back for a free rafting experience. However I am still shocked that they operate so loosely, and want others to educate themselves before there is a tragedy!
