Frequently Asked Questions

DO I NEED PREVIOUS CANOEING EXPERIENCE? [top]

No, not at all!  The Kish is easy-flowing and generally not very deep.  There are not any

areas of real rapids to worry about negotiating through.  We will run through basic 

canoeing techniques and give hints on how to "read the water" before each trip.
 

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING ALONG ON THE CANOE TRIP?  [top]

Here's our list of items you should bring along.  Of course if you think of something you might need that's not listed here you should certainly bring it, too!

• Change of clothes- including socks & shoes- leave in your car until after the trip
