For Groups
Our rental facility can accommodate large groups depending on availability (groups are encouraged to make reservations as far in advance as possible). Groups can also reach out to our staff to inquire about booking tours for groups at one of our traditional locations - Merwin's Wharf, Rocky River Marina, Whiskey Island, or the Lake Erie Islands - or at another destination they have in mind. We do our best to stretch our hours and our season to accommodate school groups and others.

Directly adjacent to our launch to the north (served by the same sidewalk) is an ADA-accessible kayak launch which is placed each spring to ensure access for all aspiring paddlers. Age Restrictions: **Minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Tandem Kayaks • Children must > 35 lbs and be able to sit independently to ride in a tandem kayak with an adult.
