Cave Country Canoes

We had a great time! The half day trip was outstanding. Seeing the trees shedding their fall colored leaves was picturesque. That was definitely a perk of visiting in October. The staff members were very helpful, courteous, funny and polite from the time we checked in until they pulled our kayaks out of the water at the end. After the half day trip workout, we even treated ourselves to yummy specialty coffees at Out of the Blue (back at the same building where we checked in). We had a full, family day and saw many others along the way doing the same. I highly recommend Cave Country Canoes for great views and fun!

Amazing kayaking adventure! We kayaked the 7 mile trip and it was perfect. Beautiful weather and scenery. Stopped off at multiple shaded beaches on the way to picnic and explore, which was so fun. The mini rapids throughout the trip were the highlight for us! We also saw turtles, otters, ducks and even someone hook a bass from their kayak. The gift shop had hats, water shoes, dry bags and much more. If it’s your first time going and plan on staying out on the river for hours I would bring hats, sunscreen, small cooler with snacks and drinks, and wear water shoes. Also, grab a map at check in to bring with you so that you have an idea of where you are on the river. Shoutout to the incredible staff! From the initial check in, the bus ride, to the very end every staff member was kind, helpful and professional. At the end of your trip I definitely recommend treating yourself to ice cream at the shop! The bourbon ice cream was amazing! We had such an awesome day. We’ll definitely be back soon.

Camping sites are clean & ready for hook up. Store delivered the firewood we bought to our site. Delicious ice cream! Ckean showers & restrooms. - river kayaking was fun. Late September, so water level was low, which made the trip longer (necessary walking), but beautiful. Lots of places to pull over & rest or eat. Saw some turtles too. The only things missing were ropes to pull the kayaks. Bending over & dragging them was painful.

Always love kayaking the Blue River with CCC! Great staff, good quality sit-on kayaks as an option! Loved trying the ice cream place out today finally! Lemon bar cheesecake ice cream was delicious! They have lots of unique flavors to choose from. Great experience once again—hope to do the full-day at some point!

Check in was smooth and easy. I'm so glad I called ahead to reserve. Staff was efficient and quick to get us equipped and on the bus. Everyone had a great time. A couple of issues on the river but nothing that has to do with your company unless you are responsible for downed trees blocking the river, which of course you probably aren't but it would be nice if someone could cut them because when the water is as low as it was, it was a bit tricky to navigate. We saw a guy fall as he tried to pull their canoe through. Thankfully, it didn't look as though he got hurt. I am sad that the river wasn't as clean as when we used to canoe/kayak with our boy scouts about 10 years ago. I didn't see any otters or fish. We did see a few turtles but nothing like before. Several areas had a nasty foamy crud on top. Could have been due to lack of water or people dumping sewage. I'm not sure which, but if you guys ever have a river clean up, contact me. I will join in to help.
