Combine the thrill of kayaking, the camaraderie of canoeing, and the stability of a raft, and you end up with a Cat. Short for "Catamaran", our Cats are an inflatable tandem kayak with less chance of tipping over than canoes/kayaks. The sleek, yet "wide-track" design is fun and easy to paddle. Also comes with comfortable, inflatable backrests. Please Note: Cats are best on warm days as there may be a little bit of water where you're sitting. Recommended for: Two paddlers w/ basic paddling experience, who are willing to accept a challenge, but don't quite fit into the other equipment categories (not enough canoeing experience, don't want to try a solo kayak, or too small a group to fill a raft). 4 & 5 hr. trips: experienced only! Cat Rates: are per person (based on 2 people, which is the maximum).
| Approximate Float Time | 1½ hr | 3 hr | 4 hr | 5 hr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price Per Person | $18 | $27 | $31 | $33 |
| Departure Times | 9:30-5:00 every ½ hr |
9:30-3:30 every ½ hr |
9:30-2:30 every hour |
9:30-11:30 every hour |
Challenging Mid-Section Trip
We offer a "Mid-Section" trip for those who want the faster, most challenging part of the river, but don't necessarily want or have the time to do the Wolverine (5 hr.) trip, and/or wouldn't mind skipping the last 1 1/2 hrs. of the river (which is the easier section, has more homes/cottages, and at peak times more congested w/ rafts and tubes). This trip ends at N. White Rd, which is the most commonly used put-in point (and which we own). This trip is definitely for more advanced paddlers!
