This has been the highlight of our trip here to Jackson!!! If I could give them TEN+ STARS I would!! Hubby and I have been wanting to see if kayaking would be a new retirement endeavor for us... now after all we learned today, IT IS! I wish Chris could get a commission on the kayaks we will buy sometime soon. He is such a great ambassador for the sport as well as the environment. Chris is an intelligent young man with great patience as well. He is truly a people person! His college education is a perfect fit for educating his clients on the eco system of the area. We found him so fascinating to listen to. We saw so much wild life, flora & fauna and Chris was able to speak about what was indigenous to the area, and how what wasn't got there. If you haven't kayaked before, his expertise is what you want. Even if you can't swim, you will love doing this! The kayaks are very forgiving and didn't tip at all. The water is very shallow so even IF you tipped over (I don't know how you could ) just stand up! When you go, be sure to use sunblock & bug spray. He also chose the 'sit-on' kayaks which were perfect for our weight and ability. Chris is a very quick responder on text messages and soooo very informative to help get you the best appointment. Our's was 9am today, the cool morning air and calm water made for a wonderful trip in our first kayak adventure! read more

I've been multiple times now and every time it's been great. Good for summer and fall months, but I prefer fall because the temps outside balance the heat from the sun. Now that I've been a few times with a group, I like to drift away from the pack with my music and enjoy the sights. I love to tell people about it and see the shock in their faces! If you like the outdoors and you're in Jackson, it should be on your list! read more

I love adventure, so I wasn't surprised at how quickly I fell in love with kayaking. It's so calming, and the perfect outdoor activity for this time. Chris, the owner, is great each time I go, no matter the size of the group or experience level. He made my group feel safe before going out, and was very nice. We even did the swing. And you don't have to get completely in the water to do it, so don't worry. All in all, a nice Jackson gem. read more

This was a great experience. We had a last minute day off in Jackson and I called Chris the day of. He accommodated us. We had a mixed group, some with experience kayaking and a few newbies. He showed us the ropes, and then let us explore. Our guide was close but never overbearing. The part of the river we kayaked in was gorgeous, quiet, and full of wildlife. We saw fish, heron, turtles and a few other bird species. The price was incredible and next time I am in Jackson, I will definitely hit them up again read more

She's very friendly and helpful, and she is especially welcoming to newbies. Go with groups, or go solo!

This is one of my favorite places ever…read more I lived here for 2 months in the Lil Okie Cabin. It was one of the best places I've ever stayed. I would wake up every morning by the river and sit out on the rocking chair on the porch. There was a ton of wildlife and beautiful scenery. They have cabin rentals, RV hookups, tent sites and kayak/canoe rentals. The best part is the kayak rentals. You can either go on a river kayak for 3-5 hours or around 7 hours... I would go on the 7 next time, I can never get enough kayaking. They drive you up the road on a bus and drop you off with your kayak. The river is so neat and it's fun to go with a group and a cooler full of beer. There is a couple of spots with level 1 rapids and waterfalls. They have a store right on the river if you need to stop and get something too... Such a blast, just wear sun screen. There's also a great "beach" at the bend of the river where people throw parties, eat crawfish, and lay out/swim in the sun. Occasionally the owners bring in live bands and have lots of good food and dancing... The owners are now our friends and they are so great and lots of fun. Anyone would love it here.

Buyer beware!! Pricing is anything but transparent. The web says $30 for a kayak, but it's really…read more$32.10 + 7% tax + square fee (unless you bring cash, which I could have done) for a total of $34.35. Worse yet, the cabin was listed for $95 and the statement "to avoid a $25 cleaning fee after departure" - forget it, everyone pays the cleaning fee. So for one night it's $95+$25+tax plus square fee = $134.82!! And you bring your own sheets and towels, soap, no TV, one window unit by front door so cool air doesn't reach the bedroom! No fan there either. The river was great, the showers were not much better than a hose. The office was closed when we got there at 4 pm, closed until 9 am the next day, and closed at 1 pm when we returned, had to track down staff to get our car key.

I believe the sole purpose of parks like this is to improve a child's socialization skills. As you can see from the pictures, the equipment wasn't your regular sliding board, seesaw, or swing set. The colors and the shapes of these items are to capture the child's eyes and lead to interaction. I don't know if I got any pictures, but musical instruments were place in the play area for the free spirit child. Also, there is a child museum on the grounds, which we didn't get a chance to visit, but the children had fun, and that was the goal.
