Frequently Asked questions
Faq
Q. What should I wear?
Workout clothing, swimwear, or pretty much anything you don’t mind getting a little wet and possibly dirty. Same with shoes, either tennis shoes you don’t mind getting wet or dirty or flip flops, sandals, or water shoes. Keep in mind that it’s Georgia and it’s most likely going to be hot. Long, heavy garments can weigh you down and make it hard to move your limbs in the water if you do happen to fall in, so we strongly advise against any long or heavy garments that could restrict your movement in the water. We assist you into the water so it’s incredibly easy to wear shoes that are easy to kick off and throw into your boat so you have them at the end point.
​
Q. Is there a minimum age requirement?
A. We allow persons of 14years old and up participate. Please note that a parent/ guardian must sign a waiver for anyone under the age of 18 in accordance with Georgia Law governing who/at what age a person can legally express consent for themselves.
​
Q. Are coolers allowed?
Small to medium sized coolers are perfectly fine, as well as bags. We do not allow large coolers, not only are the unnecessary for a trip down the canal but they don’t fit well in the kayak with you and they add a significant amount of extra weight, which makes the kayak much less stable and increases the likelihood of flipping your kayak substantially.
​
Q. Do you rent motorboats/Jet skis?
A. Sorry no motors - our boats are powered by YOU!
​
Q. Are there snakes or alligators in the water?
A. No, one of our employees goes out and catches all of the snakes, gators, spiders, and other critters that people have irrational fears about at the beginning of each day. Just kidding. OF COURSE THERE ARE. There are snakes, turtles, muskrats, beavers, otters, cranes, herons, frogs, lizards, skinks, spiders and a variety of other wildlife that call the canal and it’s surrounding areas their home.
​
Q. Is there a weight limit?
A. The weight limit for our biggest single Kayaks is 350 lbs. the weight limit for the paddleboards are 700 lbs. It is important to note, however, that the more weight you add to a kayak the more likely the kayak is to tip over. If you are over 300 lbs this may not be the best sport for you.
​
Q. Are there places to have lunch and or swim?
A. Yes! As you kayak around the river feel free to choose a spot to land and have a snack.
