The water clarity was amazing! Perfect for spotting fish and enjoying the scenery.
Romantic Paddle
Drifting down the creek was super romantic. A great way to connect with nature.
Shallow Waters
Some sections were a bit shallow, requiring getting out of the kayak. Annoying!
Shuttle Issues
The shuttle situation felt inconvenient. One had to wait for the car.
Limited Time
Operating hours felt restrictive. Would've liked more flexibility for a full day.
