Trip Descriptions

Trip A - Crockett’s Trip (Miles: 5 - Paddling Time: 1.5 hours)

Follow the scenic Hocking River lined by trees and fields. There are several islands and sandbars near the start of the trip that make great stopping places for a little exploration or a picnic lunch. This is a great beginner’s trip, especially for young children, nervous adults, and those short on time. Available by canoe, kayak or raft. 

Trip B - Rockbridge Trip (Miles: 7 - Paddling Time: 2-3 hours)

Our most popular trip has two extra miles on the scenic Hocking River. This trip has more islands and sandbars, a few narrow areas, and more riffles. It also provides a unique opportunity to hike up and see the Natural Rockbridge, a natural work of art. Available by canoe or kayak. 

Additional Information

• Both trips are good for beginners. The Hocking River is generally a calm smooth river with a few riffles, islands and sand bars. The stretch the trips run on is Class I.
• We transport you upstream and you canoe back to the building and your car with the current.
• All paddling times are approximate based on the average time of an average paddler in average river conditions.
• Both trips run on the Hocking River. Adverse river conditions may make an alternate waterway necessary.
• Both trips provide great fishing opportunities.
• Children must be three years of age to participate. Additional age restrictions may apply depending on water level and participant experience.
• Prepare for your trip by checking the forecasted weather and current water conditions.
• Reservations are generally not necessary unless you are bringing a group of ten or more, would like specific boats, or need to go at a specific time.

Canoes

        

• Canoes offer the chance for two people to work together while paddling downstream.
• There are two molded seats for canoeing in comfort.
• A maximum of a third adult or two small children can be added, sitting on the canoe floor.
• Our canoes are all Old Town 158 or 169's, which have two seats.
• Try a kayak for the third person.
• For a large family that would like to stay together, we recommend a raft.

Kayaks

• Most kayaks are one man vessels, where the paddler sits down in the boat.
• They are generally easier to maneuver, but a little bit tippier than a canoe.
• When handled by an experienced paddler, kayaks tend to be faster then canoes..
• The kayak options available at Hocking Hills Canoe Livery are described below.
• All of our kayaks are good for beginners. The paddler is not sealed in the cockpit and no rolling is necessary.
