Safety:

Please ensure that all members of your group watch the US Coast Guard’s 16 minute Safety Video before arrival. Riverboat Roger will ensure you have all the necessary equipment, Orient you to the local area, and go through a short safety checklist which includes a liability waiver.

Riverboat Roger may be available to guide you and help paddle a canoe, for an added fee. When you reserve the boats you will be reserving Roger’s time for half an hour and the boat(s) for 2.5 hours on the water (total of 3 hours). If Roger goes as a guide he will return after 2 hours on the water but you may stay out longer if desired.

We provide boats, life preservers, map, paddles, and emergency whistles. We recommend you bring water and a picnic lunch.

Amazing Flora

The American Lotus blooms abundantly most years from mid July to early Sept. There are many other types of interesting plants all over the islands and growing along the banks.

Abundant Fauna

Snapping Turtle

You will likely see a number of large turtles sunning themselves on a log. Also numerous are Eagles, Muskrat, Beaver, many species of Fish, and all sorts of Migratory Waterfowl (in spring and fall). The variety of birds is astounding. Stop paddling and listen to their songs.
