Announcement: Changes to Haul PolicyEffective ImmediatelyWe are implementing changes to our Haul policy to enhance our operational efficiency. Similar to our rental customers, hauls will now have peak pricing. Here are the new rates:
-
Peak Hours (Saturdays and Sundays, 9:30 AM – 11:45 AM):
- Kayak: $40
- Canoe | Tandem Kayak | Large Fishing Kayak: $70
-
Non-Peak Hours (Outside of Peak Hours and Weekdays):
- Kayak: $26
-
Canoe | Tandem Kayak | Large Fishing Kayak: $50
We understand this may not be a popular decision, but these adjustments are necessary to ensure efficient operation during our busiest times, 9:30 AM – 11:45 AM, when we experience the highest demand for river trips. The volume of hauls during this period has made it challenging to adequately serve our rental customers.We deeply value our haul customers and hope for your continued patronage. These changes will enable us to better accommodate all customers. Please note that Season Pass holders will not be affected by these changes.Additionally, we will no longer provide haul guests with complimentary paddles and life jackets. If you bring your own boat, please ensure you have your own paddle and a Coast Guard-approved wearable life jacket, as required by Indiana state law.Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. -
