Canoe Trips and Rates for Morgan's Little Miami River
Special Pricing Reminders:
Morgan's charges per canoe. A canoe will accommodate up to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 small children. There are only 2 seats in all canoes. The youngest age we allow in our canoes is 3 years. Please call us if you have a child younger than this. Dogs on leashes are permitted in the canoes. Be aware that other canoe rentals charge per person and hide other costs that you will find out about after you arrive.
On weekends you have the option to upgrade your canoe from the standard aluminum to a fiberglass Old Town for an additional $5. Old Towns are wider, do not have a keel on the bottom like the aluminum canoes, have contoured seats, do not heat up as much in the sun, and ride smoother over rocks and low spots.
At Morgan’s we guarantee the most competitive price on the river, and will customize a trip to fit any budget. Please talk to a Morgan's reservation specialists personally, to advise you on your outing and to workout all the details to make your trip a successful one.
Morgan's will shuttle your privately owned canoe for a $15 per boat fee. Kayaks are $10 each.

Ft. Ancient to Morrow
Approximately 6 miles- This is one of our more popular trips. Our Riverside Campground serves as a perfect picnic stop at your half way point, have an ice cream treat or lunch. Clean restrooms are available here, and be sure to check out our new cabins for a future extended stay with us. Many islands, creeks, and fossil shoals add to the fun... The Morgan’s recommend this trip for all church groups, youth groups, and corporate outings because it’s not too long and not too short. (Average time 1.5-3 hours)
Ft. Ancient to Mount Station
Approximately 9 miles- Our newest trip takes paddlers through a less traveled section of the river, passing near the town of Morrow and one of the largest Great Blue Heron rookeries in Ohio.
Deer Creek to Ft. Ancient
Approximately 12 miles- This is a great 3 hour to all day trip. Pack a picnic basket and enjoy the Ceaser's Creek Gorge area as the river winds its way back to our Fort Ancient lodge. This is our most popular trip with experienced canoeists. (Average time 3 -5hrs.)
