This place definitely deserves way more than one star. They have everything you need for rent, they give you a brief layout of what to expect and send you on your way via a shuttle bus (you paddle back down the river to their private beach). There were no surprises renting from VT Canoe & Kayak. They can help you launch, or you can launch yourself once you get to the starting point. The experience on the Lamoille River is one that will be remembered forever. It's absolutely tranquil and beautiful.

If you have zero kayaking/canoeing experience, you shouldn't go your first time alone. If you're simply renting, they expect you've done this before. And rightfully so.

If you rent, they give you an option of a 3-, 2-, or 1-hour ride, which you can make longer by stopping on banks to swim and hangout (which they encourage).

As they state, you can't get lost; any tributaries leading to the river are coming from upstream, so getting lost isn't an option unless you paddle upstream.
