Kayaking & White Water Adventures
Historic Banning Mills offers exciting kayaking adventures!
Enjoy a peaceful trip in our unsinkable kayaks. Our kayaks are safer than a boat or canoe, are hard to turn over, and no roll training is required. These kayaks provide a relaxing platform to observe nature’s wonders and the native heritage of our rivers and creek.
Enjoy kayaking in the Chattahoochee River or in our lake. Go back in time and paddle in the same areas as the Creek and Cherokee Indians did generations ago.

Things to know to plan Your Trip
Kayaking Trips are available from March to Mid-November, weather dependent. We reserve the right to cancel trips due to inclement weather and to substitute treks due to water levels. A designated adult must accompany minors. Kayaking does require advance notice.
Helpful Tips
Bring water and snacks in a waterproof container, especially for the longer treks.
Do not wear cotton. This is especially important if the weather or water temperature is cool. Wool keeps you warm when wet and fleece dries quickly. Synthetic or wool materials are highly encouraged. In the cooler months please dress warm, you will get wet.
Wear some type of water or tennis shoe. Wool socks are recommended if needed.
Wear sunscreen and bring some too! We encourage you to wear a hat. Insect repellant is helpful.
Come ready to have fun!!
