The owner was a down to earth guy who promptly took us to the river and picked us back up. The river was a bit slow in some places due to lack of rain, but we just sat back and relaxed. I was a little cautious taking smaller kids but they did great. Be ware the first chute does splash you really good so make sure you have something to protect your phone. We were his first ride of the season. It was probably a little cold for locals but we are from WA and it was perfect weather in march!
