Just got off of the Maumee River with Hunter, great experience! I opted for a shorter 2 hour trip…read morefor something of a refresher course. Hunter contacted me within a few days of making a deposit and kept in constant contact while waiting out the weather and my work schedule. We met at the selected time and place and after some brief conversation we headed to the river. River fishing is very new to me. We talked how how to wade safely especially on the slippery and muddy conditions and how to safely wade unfamiliar water. We got started by Hunter evaluating my rig then watched my casting offering tips and suggestions throughout. We discussed different methods from streamers to nymphing as well as how to fish riffles or not. All in all I feel I got a tremendous amount of info from an experienced angler that I could ask questions as they came up and not just a YouTube video. The best advice though was to get out and do it! I felt as if I was fishing with my brother! Thanks Hunter!

This is a great place to "get your feet wet" if you are new to kayaking (sorry, had to do it!) I…read moresay that because it is an easy put-in with lots of help from the staff. Water is calm and wide-open from the launch site so you have plenty of time to get your sea legs before you set off. Excellent place for groups or families. Very affordable. Singles are $10 for one hour rental, $15 for two. Doubles are $15/20. Life jackets, complimentary! There is a much longer trip you can take, but I can't give pricing or comment since we did the shorter route. Standard disclosures and waivers must be signed. Staff give you all the low-down on the routes and what you can expect to see along the way. It was fun to paddle both open lake and river sections. On the lake we mingled with swans and lily pads, on the river we enjoyed some beautiful and quiet spots with overhanging trees and a nice, gentle current. Although this review is for the paddling company where you rent your equipment, I will add a brief note to say it is located in Indian Crossing Trails Park and there is a public, free launch in the same location. So if your friend has a kayak, but you don't, no one is left out! The park itself is a lovely location with convenient parking for kayakers bringing their own or renting.

Jen and Mark were so friendly and flexible. The river was low (making for some bottom-scraping…read moreadventures), but Mark was sure to alert me to that fact before our trip. They have a variety of trips to choose from, ranging in difficulty from an easy paddle in the pond to a more advanced 5 hour trip. I will be going back next season!

I have been camping at River Raisin Canoe Livery every year since 2021, and have been meaning to do…read morea review for a while now. I would like to share with you the wonderful people, Cherry and family that own this Livery and campground. I have camped all over the United States, and few campgrounds have family's so willing to make sure you have the best experience possible. This is rustic camping and very peaceful so much so id like to keep it a secret for myself, but that would be selfish and not fair to the owners not to share. The fishing is good also. I have caught many different types of fish in the River Raisin ranging from Pike to GIANT Catfish and everything in-between. Not to mention personal training on how to operate a kayak for the first time. LOL.... I can't say enough about this Livery and my experience's it's been truly wonderful, I'll see you this summer. Enjoy Life.

Good day out. Went upriver towards Dundee and then coasted back down. Very pretty ride.read more

Firstly, this is a place for docking boats & putting boats up for the winter. I have no experience…read morewith this. It's located directly on the Detroit river. They have a restaurant with gorgeous views of the water. I do believe this place is members only. The food is decent, there are vegetarian options, though not many. They do have fish & chips which is crave-worthy. The coolest thing is summer of 2023 they finished putting in a brand new in ground pool. It is so nice! You can order food from the restaurant and have it brought out to you at the pool. Members can invite friends & family to the pool, who can get in under the members name & member number, if the member is there. The pool has a bit of a landing, so when you step in, it's like a small, shallow splash pad for littles or people who want to sit. There's a bar at the pool, so you can have poolside drinks, and ice cream! The pool in the summer has been 5 stars for us so far. I would rate the food & service at the restaurant with 4 stars. Shout out to server Ronnie who has worked there for several years and takes great care. One additional thing is they often host kids parties for holidays (Christmas they have Santa lunches, Easter, Halloween). These are expensive for members to sign up for, but they put on a very nice buffet style lunch for families and have crafts, gifts, egg hunts, etc for the kids. They also host bands, comedians, and other entertainers. These events also get 5 stars. However please note that the average person cannot afford a membership at this place. If you're lucky enough to have a family member or friend have a membership here I would definitely recommend utilizing it. Be sure to check out the pool!

We've always thought Captain Jim's had such a fun atmosphere and loved coming here for drinks. We…read morewere so excited when we stopped in this year and they're serving food! Our first time was on a Saturday for a couple drinks and appetizers. We shared the Reuben Rings and they were so great! They're a basket of onions rings with sauerkraut, corned beef, Swiss & thousand island. They were so good we ordered them again when we stopped by a couple weekends later. The jalapeño wontons were also good. They were not spicy at all and were served with sweet chili sauce. You get 5 in an order and there were 4 of us in our party. They were good but I don't think I'd get them again. All sandwiches are served with chips otherwise fries are $3 extra. Obviously I ordered the fries but that was a bit steep of an up-charge for fries that aren't homemade (in my opinion). Their Smash Burgers are great. I ordered the Irish Fisherman on brioche instead of Texas toast. It was so tasty, I'd certainly order it again. My husband had the Mean Marauder which had bacon, spicy BBQ, jalapeños & whiskey glazed onions. It was the perfect amount of spicy. I really liked it! They do charge I think $1 for ranch was also a bit steep in my opinion and I think I wish I had been told that when asking for it. Our friend ordered the Dirty Birdie and it was pretty sad. The brioche bun was great, there were two premade (purchased frozen) chicken tenders on it that barely filled the bun, barely any onions and almost no dirty sauce to speak of. She was disappointed and didn't finish it. We should've asked if the tenders were homemade or not. We were there on a Saturday and ordered a Bloody Mary and I think it was maybe $7. It came with cheese, salami, a pickle & olives. We came on Sunday for the Bloody Mary bar and it was different than expected. You build your drink from a dry erase checklist. Spicy Vodka, salami & cheese are all an up-charge. I'd definitely say the biggest disappointment is the Bloody Mary bar that isn't a bar and you'll likely pay more for one on a Sunday than on any other given day. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is clean and newly renovated. The bathrooms are in rough shape! They're sort of being remodeled, I think. One had no paper towel, the other had no soap or toilet paper, one had holes in the wall and the other was 1/2 or 3/4 remodeled. I think there are 3 or 4 restrooms so I'm only speaking for the two I used since I've been there. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. I think I'll stick to beer, smash burgers and Reuben rings!!
