WHITE RIVER CANOE COMPANY

“The company staff were pleasant, helpful and timely. The kayaks were easy to maneuver and very comfortable, especially considering my normally stiff back. But mother nature steals the show on this beautiful stretch of river scenery in central Indiana. Plenty of wildlife to be seen including some bald eagle close-ups that we didn’t expect, so we got some really cool bonus photos. Good time had by all and what a relaxing way to spend a hot summer day.”

The corned beef hash I had that morning was made in their own kitchen as opposed to it coming out of a tin. This one single item, to me, was a testament that Indiana is worthy of being on the culinary map.”
