Come early on weekends and holidays to avoid long wait times and to make sure you have parking. Bring appropriate footwear to wear in the water as river rocks can be slippery and you cannot always see the bottom – if you need water shoes, you can purchase them at the Cooksburg Dry Goods store next to Pale Whale Canoe Fleet.
Bring plenty of non-alcoholic drinks, snacks/picnic baskets, sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, trash bags, waterproof containers/dry bags, rope to secure your containers/bags, fishing equipment, as well as extra clothes in case you get wet.
We no longer rent floating coolers.
Always keep your car keys in a safe place – we will hold your keys until you return if you chose! Put a lanyard or something familiar on your keys to make it easier to find them in our bin.
Stop by the Cooksburg Cafe for Hershey’s hand-dipped ice cream, burgers, and fresh cut fries after your float!
