2021 SEASON UPDATE:

OPENING DAY: Port Clinton - Saturday May 15th, 2021! It’s hard to believe that we are heading into our 6th season! We have been gearing up and getting ready! We are looking forward to the weather

breaking and getting the boats in the water. The season officially kicks off on Saturday May 15th in Port Clinton. We will be open 7 days a week all summer long from 10am -8 pm. Our Oak Harbor location opening day is tentatively set to open Memorial Day Weekend and we will run 7 days a week as well through Labor Day Weekend. Some things we are working on adding this year (hopefully sometime in June):

Axe Throwing: Axe throwing is exploding in popularity and we have decided to extend our outdoor adventure by building an outdoor axe throwing range! We believe this is a great fit for our business. This sport is fun for all ages (10 and up), a great workout, and a positive way to release energy and stress. Come see us on the range in June! This will only be available at the Port Clinton location. You may remember our Nigerian Dwarf goats from last year, Nug & Riptide. Well they love to suit up in their shark fin life jackets and go paddleboarding on our giant Paddleship! Starting in June you will have the opportunity to go out with them on a guided 1 hour paddle! This will be by reservation only and extremely limited to once per day as to not over work them. Booking will be done on our website once available. Also only available at our Port Clinton store. Many of our special events will be back again this year such as our popular full moon paddles, sunset & smores paddles, kid's night, fireworks & glow stick paddle, and more all in the works! Keep an eye out on the page and website as we start to post the event details. Anyway, if you could share this post for us to help spread the word, we would greatly appreciate it! We can't wait to see you on the river! Paddle On,

Bryan, Amanda, Gavin, Vayda, Vylet, Ivy, Rivers & Crew
