1. AWESOME EXPERIENCE! My family of six were going to tube down on our own but I had some concerns about my two little girls, ages 8 and 10. I decided to book a rafting adventure for myself and the girls. We dropped off my wife and two older kids (15, 21) across the river with their tubes and headed to the parking lot, located just up the road. The lot looked very secure. There was someone there all day. A shuttle van took us back down the road. Super nice driver. The little girls and I checked in and went down to the rafts. EVERY staff member was incredibly helpful. We got down the river and the girls were fitted for life jackets, and we were given a raft and two oars. Again, the guys on the dock - SUPER HELPFUL! We started out and ran into the rest of my family who were waiting for us down river just a bit. Super fun experience on the river. The kids loved it. Super mellow ride. The "rapids" are very tame (i think the drought has caused this). At the end of the trip, the guys on the dock were again, super helpful. I left the whole family there and road the Shuttle Bus back up to the parking lot. The driver was again, SUPER HELPFUL. He let know the best way to get back to pick up the family.
2. We took the whole family! It was a nice easy ride with a few "rapids" at the end. I think we hit every rock!
Very friendly staff guide you for parking and registration. Once you register and pay, then you follow the footsteps on the pavement to the launch area. You are greeted by the raft loaders and they hold the raft while you get in. Life vests available for all, and they have special ones for the small kids with the buckles. Just ask.
3. I would highly suggest going early. It's such a calm serene experience. The ducks in the area have been trained for food begging. So be prepared for some fun little companions as you go down the river.
Awesome is the only word I can think of to describe this.
4. My suggestion is to bring lots of sunblock & a water gun because what makes this pretty fun is that everyone is just trying to have a good time and shooting each other with their water guns.
