Our group consisted of 3 adults and 7 teenagers. Paddle Inn was the best by far from check-in, safety briefing, and care for the groups while on the river. The first few minutes of our trip started out with rain/hail as soon as we got on the river, but quickly abated to the sun warming us up. Paddle Inn had... More

Owner Mom, was very kind and helpful. Our bus driver and guide were also really nice guys. This is a great river for new rafters and... More

The weather was beautiful, the trip was awesome. Our Devin was great. I was nervous of going over the falls at the end. I've had a few bad expierences and was thinking I may get out early. So glad I didn't Devin got us down effortlessly. My best rafting expierence yet!! I'll be back and maybe before summer's over. More

I went rafting with them on August 12, and I had the greatest time! My raft was the sweep, since we were a group of 50 people. We were supposed to pick up any people that fell out of their raft, though we didn't need to, other than when we pulled someone else out of their raft. Our guide Jake... More

We could not have had a better rafting experience! Paddle Inn came highly recommended to us from friends down here in Texas! We have a mentally challenged son, and our guide Dave was so awesome with him. We will always treasure the pictures and memories of this rafting trip. What a great time!! More

We rafted with Paddle Inn on July 22, 2011. We called ahead the day prior to schedule an 11:00 ride, but when we arrived early they let us head on out with their first run of the day~no waiting around at that place! I was pleasantly surprised that they said a prayer over our group before we left for the... More
