FAQs

What can I bring?

Please wear appropriate clothing and shoes. This includes bathing suit, shorts, t-shirt or other water appropriate clothing. Avoid wearing cotton. Appropriate footwear includes old sneakers (that you don't mind getting wet) or water shoes. Do NOT wear flip flops, loose sandals, or Crocs. If you wear glasses or sunglasses use eye glass straps so they stay placed securely on your head.

We recommend leaving all valuables, dry clothes & towels (to change into after your trip) and cell phones in your vehicle. Keys can be safely stored in the Adventure Center store prior to departing on your trip.

You can capture great adventure photos on your trip if you choose to bring a waterproof camera or waterproof cell phone case. But remember, any items lost in the river will most likely become fish food. We are not responsible for lost items.
