Important Notes
You must be able to swim. All participants are required to wear a Type III U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket that we provide. Where there is water, there is risk.
New River Canoe Livery assumes no responsibility for your personal safety or loss of equipment. However, we do everything possible to make your trip a safe one and have an excellent safety record.
You will be required to sign a renter's agreement and liability release.
Life jacket sizes are from child to XL. Unfortunately if you are larger than an XL, we are not able to accommodate you.
Eyeglasses should be secured by a string or elastic band.
Be prepared to get wet. Wool clothing is best in cool weather. Bring a change for the end of your trip.
Always wear shoes when canoeing. Tennis shoes are best. NO FLIP FLOPS!
Bring along some sun screen in summer. Anyone who canoes must be a swimmer. We provide trip maps and safety information. Please read and heed.
While we have no control over the use of alcohol on the river, we strongly encourage moderation. Misuse of alcohol is a major factor in water related accidents.
