? Need a Boat ?

You can rent one from Columbus Outdoor Pursuits,

PFDs must be worn at all times while on or near the water; helmets are required to be worn at all times on Class II and greater whitewater. Renter paddling skills will be assessed as part of our safety process. For more information, see the PDF document: Rental Policy
