  • Is this adventure for me?
    LOWER KINNICKINNIC TRIP IN RIVER FALLS, WI: Many kayaking guests have little kayak experience. However, you should have some experience paddling, be an active person and an average swimmer. You should NOT attempt the Kinnickinnic River as your very first attempt at kayaking. The average water depth is 10” – 12” and the maximum water depth is 6’. Be aware, you are in the wild. There will be sticks, spiders, etc. and you may need to get out of the kayak (and into the water) at some point.
