Loudonville Canoe Livery

This was our second visit, the first over 3 years ago. This time we brought our 3 children, 8-12yo, and we all had a great time. Good price & quick service getting us back to our cars after the trip.

We wanted something outside of the normal party on the River. We went on a Thursday morning right after opening and did the 3 mile trip due to some rain coming through at some point during the day. It was just long enough for us for this trip. This section of the River has no other liveries on it. I will say this, before going anywhere else, give this place a try. It’s local, family owned, and it happens to be the cheapest livery. When we went, the 3 mile trip ends right where the two huge liveries start. We could hear the “safety talk” being given at another livery. About 10 minutes later, the river was full of paddle-craft and rafts. Looked like a terrible time. Oh did I mention this livery is a dog friendly rental? Talked to everyone about our golden and had such a warm welcome. Even transporting in the van.

Overall, thanks for the good experience!

Fantastic small business with super friendly staff and variety of equipment. They have tandem kayaks and regular ones. Also have cooler carriers to strap to kayak for easy convenience. Highly recommend them.

The staff here were super friendly and helpful and offered up some good advice on special things to keep an eye out for like the eagle aerie as well as landmarks for arriving back at the livery. I also like that they take you upstream and you canoe back rather than the opposite! Would definitely go back! Very family friendly!
