    Brookville Lake - This is a Hidden Gem in the state of Indiana

    Brookville Lake is our home lake. We live 35 minutes away and we own a boat so we spend a lot of…read moretime here. The lake itself is a little more than 5,000 Acres which is then surrounded by about 11,000 Acres of woods and picnic areas. Our main focus is fishing it is what we love to do. We were able to get out fishing about a week ago as the weather had turned nice. In the summer months the lake does get pretty busy with boaters and skiers. The first time this year we got out and caught 19 crappie and one catfish. That lake is full of catfish. We catch enough fish in the lake over the course of the fishing season to feed our family and extended family for the year. You can also find campgrounds here and you can reserve them through the Indiana DNR website. There are also hiking trails through the woods. Plenty to do if you want to get away for a week or a weekend.

    Rain, hail, thunder.... We survive the trek down the white water river! Thanks for another awesome…read moreYelp event!!! And thanks to Morgan's Canoe for everything. It was my first time at Morgan's in Brookville and it was spectacular. We did the 5 mile trip and it only took is 3 hours to complete. The people there are very good explaining everything and their equipment is superb! Make sure you do the upgrade for the "plastic" canoes, worth it after seeing people struggle with their aluminum ones the rivers. Their set-up is awesome, at the end they are waiting for you with a bus to bring you back to the start. There facility is super nice.... the restrooms could use some TLC, but not a big deal.

    Although we flipped, got rained & hailed on, it was a blast! Met the awesome Cindy and some…read moreawesome yelpers ;D Morgan's is a short 40 min drive from dtCincy. Met Morgan himself, such a nice fella, explained to us the diff kinds of canoes and pricing. We didn't put our valuable stuff like phones, wallet and food in a waterproof pouch or ziplog bag since we didn't think we'd flip (how hard is it to canoe, right?) But we did...our phones were donezo, sandals and sandwiches floated away, at the end of the day, we were barefeet and hangry. IN allows beer on the river so bring some and enjoy a nice refreshing adult beverage out on the water! Will definitely be back for some more canoeing or kayaking in the future!

    DO NOT RENT FROM THIS PLACE!! If I could give less than a…read morestar I would. Reservations needed and we made them. The wait in line to pay was still over an hour. When we loaded and got on the water A STAFF person told our crew to get our F**king A**ess on the water. A few explicit words were exchanged and we were on the water. When we got to the end THAT STAFF member called one wife a B**ch. Of course the husband went off! Next, one of the girls left a phone tied to the double kayak her and her husband shared. We went back to find the kayak and the phone was not there. I started calling the phone, we heard the phone in the woods hiding in some brush. Only staff members touch the kayaks when loaded (which the only double kayak there was). Safe to assume A STAFF member thought they had a new phone.

    To begin with let me tell you the entrance for this place is scary AF. It's full of old buses and…read morecars looks hideous honestly. You might think you'll get murdered here. In addition this place really needs a clean up and a redo. Even the house or building where you pay for kayaks is literally falling apart. Also I don't recommend using the restrooms here they are dirty and smell foul I think you'll be better doing it outside by the trees. Moreover price is fair and you'll definitely have fun. Also customer service was great the ladies were very nice. Also the river is about 3-4 hours long. There's some little areas where you can rest a long the way which is pretty nice. Furthermore I recommend trying this place out.

The buses and kayaks have always been clean and in good shape. The path is clear and we understand where we are able to stop and where the route ends. At the end the employees (usually young boys in HS) are helpful in pulling you onto shore or helping you up out of the kayak.

    We brought our summer camp here for a field trip with 50 campers, and unfortunately our experience…read morewas extremely disappointing. 1. Check-In Process The woman working the front desk (I believe her name was Cali) was kind and did her best to help us. This review is not about her. The check-in system, however, was incredibly inefficient. Every camper had to come to the desk individually, Cali had to look up their waiver, and they then had to have their name written down by hand. Checking in our group of 50 campers took approximately 35-40 minutes. As a camp, we take trips to many local attractions that require waivers, and we've never had a check-in process take more than about 10 minutes. This system felt unnecessarily slow and completely unprepared for groups. 2. Communication Before our visit, we clearly communicated that we needed to leave by 2:30 p.m. to return to camp for dismissal and that we were looking for roughly a 1.5-hour boat ride. After finally checking in, we were put on a shuttle bus for nearly 20 minutes. During the ride, I asked the driver how long the boat trip would be back to our starting point. She told us it was a three-hour trip. At that point, it was obvious there was no way we'd make it back in time. We had to turn around, ride the bus back, wait while boats were rearranged, and then be transported to another launch point. In total, we arrived around 1:10 p.m. but didn't get onto the water until approximately 3:30 p.m.--over two hours spent waiting with 50 campers in 90-degree heat. We ultimately had to notify parents that camp dismissal would be delayed by about an hour. 3. Customer Service This section is directed specifically at the owner, Andy. The employees we interacted with--the front desk staff, the people helping with the boats, and the bus driver--were all friendly and helpful. They were not the problem. After explaining what had happened, we respectfully requested a 50% refund on our $500+ reservation since a large portion of our day had been spent waiting because of issues that were outside of our control. Rather than showing any understanding or attempting to work with us, Andy was hostile and dismissive. Judging by other reviews mentioning similar interactions, this unfortunately does not appear to be an isolated incident. Overall The boating itself was fun, and the campers enjoyed the time they actually spent on the water. Unfortunately, everything surrounding that experience overshadowed it. Between the inefficient check-in process, the poor communication about scheduling, and the owner's response when we raised legitimate concerns, this ended up being the worst field trip we've had in over five years of running our camp. I would not recommend this location for large groups, and we will not be returning.
