Highly recommend - Great outfitter on an amazing river. The staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs. The Kalamazoo River was amazing. Can’t wait to do it again.

Great experience! I would highly recommend this kayak trip. - Super, super friendly people! What a great concept... You meet at the launch spot on the river, they supply the kayaks and take your vehicle to where you land the kayaks. We saw tons of turtles as well as squirrels, hawks, fish, and mussels. We even had a bald eagle fly right in front of us!! *I recommend reading the directions in the email you receive. LOL. We didn't! We just googled their address. DON'T BE LIKE US! You actually meet up on the river...duh, IKR?! Thank God they were super kind and waited for us. 🧡

Wonderful day on the river - Spent the afternoon kayaking down the river with my two teenage boys. Great outdoor activity in the time of Covid. We only saw one other person the whole time, but lots of birds and turtles. WaterTrail was the perfect outfit. We used their kayaks, and they took us back to our car at the end. Super easy, and very friendly. I highly recommend them.

To many mosquitoes - The canoe rental is outstanding, but the glamping is really really full of mosquitoes. I counted 73 bumps just on two arms and could count the rest of my body, even after several days of not being there I still had welts.The tents are set up really well. Bring lots of repellent or bug foggers. The outhouse was nice and clean but should be moved to more private place. There is one and is right between campers and river so everyone watches you when you go in and come out. The owners are really nice and made you feel comfortable at their site and will help you in anyway.
