KAYAKING: Single kayaks are $35 + tax. Double Kayaks are $65 + tax.

FALL CANOEING:  It’s such a pretty time of the year to get on the river.  Please note that our trip schedules vary during this time of the year and it’s best to call us at 513-932-7658 to see what trips will be running that day. 

PRIVATE SHUTTLE SERVICE:  We will be offering a limited number of private boat shuttles this year. The length of the trips vary depending on our daily schedule. The cost is $25 per single kayak and $40 per canoe or double kayak transport. Due to limited parking at our location, we do not allow vehicles with trailers on the premises.

SPRING TRIP SCHEDULES can change on a daily basis due to water temperatures and river levels.  Please call us at (513) 932-7658 to confirm departure schedule.

OCTOBER TRIP SCHEDULES will be on Saturday and Sunday only.  Please call us at (513) 932-7658 to confirm departure schedule.

For company outings, we guarantee the most competitive price on the river and will customize a trip to fit. 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.

The pricing below is our reservation rate, add $10 per canoe for our regular walk-in, non reservation rate. (Due to COVID we are requiring reservations and limiting our trip options. We are currently reservation only.) 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.

Prices are subject to change without notice.
