Looking for more excitement? These boats are easy to use and behave much like whitewater kayaks without the hassle of learning wet exits, kayak rolls, and proper strokes. These kayaks are hard plastic and therefore they track and behave much better than the “duckies” that others rent. Plus, they provide comfortable seats for your trip and a “wheel” to easily transport to and from the river. Reserve these in advance as we frequently rent all these out. They are our most popular boat. Paddles and Personal Floatation Device with a Dry Bag included.

An easy flatwater float trip from our store to Ram Cat Trail Head. There is no time limit. No reservations will be taken for these mini-float trips. Very scenic with natural History along the way. See where the Confluence of the Casselman and Laurel Hill meet to join the Yough River. Also, you can see the ridge line, where George Washington surveyed this area and named the region Turkeyfoot Valley.
***Please drop all participants and trip items at our store location first. Then, we will have the driver (s) follow our shuttle vehicle to the takeout at Ram Cat Trailhead. There you will be instructed on where to take out and leave your equipment. You will ride back with the shuttle driver to the launch area at our store. Best part is your vehicle will be at the takeout & you can take your time paddling down to enjoy swimming, fishing, or exploring the “Turkeyfoot” confluence of rivers.

While you bike, you will discover the natural history of the Turkeyfoot Valley where George Washington did surveying, and travel along the old rail system that would transport goods up and down the Yough Valley.
