This was an amazing trip which ends close to where the river flows into lake Michigan. The water was super clear and I highly recommend this trip. Pack some lunch and drinks in a small waterproof cooler and add the extra time so as not to be rushed. Riverside canoes has a nice shop and good equipment. You do have to pay for parking though when you drop off your vehicle which stinks.

We called a few times prior to booking wth questions, everyone was helpful and friendly. The place was easy to find and we were checked in, paid up and on the water quickly. Instructions for driving the boat and navigating the waterways were thorough. The boat was brand new, nice and clean! Better than some rentals for sure. The best part was that there was some rain in the forecast so they kept our phone number handy and contacted us when the radar started to show inclement weather. Anyone looking for a rental in this area- Please look them up!

This establishment was close to…read moreour camp ground and had amazing reviews so we booked a pontoon from noon-7pm. $550.00 for one pontoon. Half of the money was due to book and the remaining amount due the day of. I appreciated that the company stayed in great communication with us before, during and after our trip. When we arrived we were greeted kindly by Nils. He asked us to off load our gear and we parked our vehicle across the street. He had a trolley that we packed full of coolers and beach bags to tote down to the dock. There were steps with handrail down to the dock to our pontoon. Nils helped get our gear down and his father helped us get our gear up the stairs when we came back. Super helpful! Before I headed down I needed to use the restroom and they had a outdoor outhouse that was more like a luxury toilet. Sink with water, a toilet that flushed built with beautiful cedar and stocked full of feminine products, paper towels, toilet paper, and it was VERY clean. When we boarded the pontoon Nils reviewed the operators instructions in details and the expectations of using the equipment with proper safety. They provided physical laminated sheets that also had a QR code with information on boater safety, and the map of the lake. We were given a full tank of gas. We were told any fuel we used they would replace for a few, they would dispose of the garbage, and our bottles. The boat with outfitted with a trash bin and a bottle bin for access. He asked when we come back to notify him 10 minutes in advance and he meet us at the dock, jumped into the water, came out to our boat and docked it for us. Excellent customer service. 10 out of 10! Highly recommend.
