Five adults, three toddlers and one dog took a 5.6 mile trip down the Duck on this beautiful Sunday in May. With the help of Higher Pursuits, canoe and kayak outfitters, all of us got on the river with no mishaps. It as a great day to be on the river. We had perfect weather and the river was flowing very nicely. The Jackson Riviera sit-on-tops that we rented where perfect for both the 3 and 4 years old to share with their parents. They could sit/lay in the front and play around in the water as Mom and Dad paddled. The "boys" showed no fear of the water and enjoyed floating downriver so Granddad could catch them.


Higher Pursuits give us a very professional orientation and told us exactly what to expect as we  floated down the river. The shuttle they provided was great and made for a very stress-free trip. This was a wonderful family activity and a great way to spend the day. Even Toby, the dog had a good time.
