    So my visit to this park was very unexpected. I was invited to go tubing at this park and Robert Clark Park but I decided to do something more serious on Memorial Day because I never celebrated it. These were my top three choices: * Visit a Cemetery Pay tribute to those who have lost their lives fighting for our country by visiting a nearby veterans' cemetery, where you can place flags and flowers on the graves. * Take a Moment of Silence To raise awareness of and commemorate those who served. * Give Thanks to Veterans I visited the sixth annual Boots on the Ground display at Fort Campbell that day, and it was fantastic. I took a moment of silence and gave thanks to veterans. It was the first time in my life I did anything meaningful on Memorial Day. Later in the afternoon, my friend called to ask if I could pick her and her roommate up from tubing from Robert Clark Park all the way down to Billy Dunlop Park. They had went down the river - very far from their parked car. I said sure...why not. I drove down to Billy Dunlop Park on a winding and precarious road listening to Cardi B. I was shocked at how crowded it was. Everyone was happy and in swimsuits. I felt like I drove into a large party. It seemed like the most fun park party I ever witnessed. I should visit this park on a quieter day. Memorial Day 2019 - Unforgettable...

    No sign on Needmore Road to indicate he road to turn down. I thought it was a dead end road and I was just exploring when I found this park. It's nice and spacious. Covered area with picnic tables, a playground for kids and a good spot to put in kayaks.

    Nice spot to hang out, take a walk, swim, canoe, and if you have little ones there is a play area. There is also a recreational area with many tables and benches. The river has many shallow areas which is percent for small kids. There are two swinging ropes that I saw were attached to trees if you want to jump into the water as well.

    Very peaceful place to visit for a walk or to take the dog walking. I like coming here when I need to clear my head.

    We visited the Red River with Run-A-Muck on a Saturday at 8:00 AM. We met at the rental place, got…read morea safety speech and life vests, then took a (somewhat old but functional) bus to the launch point. Lots of shade, but we stayed on the water quite a while and ended up out in the heat and sun of midday. We did not all prepare for this and are paying for that. Overall, it was a lovely float with some areas with added challenge (rocks, submerged trees, shallows) to navigate. There are quite a few rocky shore areas where you can pull up the kayaks for a break or snack. Speaking of, we brought water, but failed to bring any food. It would have been nice to have something even though we planned to eat after. The exit from the river is a bit rough, but the young men helping were wonderful. We got 3 single kayaks, and 3 upgraded single kayaks. We definitely felt the upgrade was worth it for stability, more room for heavy people, adjustable footrests, and adjustable back rest. We had a great time and definitely intend to go back again.

    DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!…read more This was hands down the most disorganized kayak rental experience I've ever had. Our reservation was for 12:00 PM. We were running about 10 minutes behind, so we called ahead, let them know, and even paid before arriving. After getting there, we waited nearly 30 minutes for transportation to the drop-off point. The woman at the office was nice and apologized, so we brushed it off. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning. When we arrived at the river, everything fell apart. An older gentleman and two teenagers were unloading kayaks, but nobody gave any instructions or directed customers. We stood waiting for another 15+ minutes while they unloaded equipment and chatted. When we finally asked what was going on, they realized they didn't even have enough kayaks or paddles for our group. We were told more kayaks were "already on the way." Meanwhile, we watched other customers launch themselves because nobody was helping them get into the water. There was another group with a 12:30 reservation sitting there with kayaks available, but instead of getting us on the river, we continued waiting. At around 1:35 PM, I called the office and was told it would be another 30-45 minutes. By then we were beyond frustrated. A manager eventually got involved, but instead of apologizing, she seemed irritated that we were upset. After more waiting and more promises that kayaks were "almost there," transportation finally returned around 2:15 PM with additional kayaks. Remember, our reservation was for noon. We had already spent over two hours waiting. The best part of the day was actually being on the river. The river itself was enjoyable, and once we finally got in the water, we had a good time. Then came the ending. When we reached the take-out point, three teenagers were checking people in. One of them stopped another group and immediately started asking for names so he could charge them a $75 late fee. Their reservation had also been at noon, and they were delayed because of issues caused by the company, not because they were late. The teenager literally told them that wasn't his problem. Then they started trying to charge our group the same $75 late fee. Absolutely not. After multiple customers complained and the manager was called, they finally admitted we didn't owe anything. The entire situation could have been avoided with basic organization, communication, and customer service. We had 4 adults, 2 older kids, and 2 younger kids and spent nearly $400. For that kind of money, customers shouldn't spend over two hours waiting because a company failed to have enough kayaks available for scheduled reservations. The river was nice. The staff experience was terrible. I've floated many rivers over the years and can honestly say this was the worst-run kayak rental operation I've ever dealt with.
