We have done this trip the last 4 years with the guys from the office. the ladies at the office have everything ready for you, they walk you though if your a newbie. the guys loading and driving you there are great and friendly, everyone has smiles. then at the end of the long fun day, they are there to help you out of the river. Great time. refuge bridge takes 4-6 hours depending on stops, bring water socks with a good tread. sandals will get lost unless they have a strap around the heal. Fully enclosed sandals will collect rocks in them and drive you crazy. Aqua socks have worked the best, but a good tread is recommended. Bring a dry bag or water proof box for valuables, they will get wet. Do a sit on Kayak or bring your own. Quick drying clothes and swim trunks/suits highly recommended. One Negative. The dreaded Mill Pond. Grueling.

This is our 9th year with friends and were not pleased. Tried checking in and they did not have our clip board our bus was to be leaving soon and I was told to go look for it. Then checked with all our group with different reservations and they did not have the wrong clipboard... so I went back in and they had us sign different papers, not a big deal. Went up to the desk to get wrist bands and then she tried telling me I only had one canoe reserved. Paid 150 something for it all so I new that was incorrect, told her that and then she agreed I did have two... very unorganized this year and not polite. Later went to the office..doors unlocked lights on and sign said they were open so we walked in and she panicked we are closed...no problem us customers with cash will leave, calm yourself. New owners means new workers and a learning process but no reason to be impolite.
