Take a peaceful ride in our unsinkable kayaks
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.
River Treks on the "Hooch"
The 7-mile kayak trip on the scenic Chattahoochee River includes seeing the historic Chief William McIntosh Reserve. Enjoy Class 1 rapids with 3 to 4 hour trip time depending on water levels.
Price: $75 per single kayak or $120 for tandem kayak. ( Includes shuttle drop off and pick up, life jackets paddle and boat.)
Note: If you would like a picnic style lunch to take with you, we can prepare that IF we know ahead of time. Let us know BEFORE you go out on the trek.
Price: $26.00 for two guests.
Please Note: Group size is a minimum of 2 guests for the 7 miles.
Participants must be at least 10 years old to go out on a single kayak. We will allow 5-year-olds and up to go out with an adult tandem. All guests must weight less than 285 pounds.
Shoes or Water Shoes are required and all participants will be required to wear life jackets the whole trip. You will get wet so it is best to wear a bathing suit with shorts or jeans. Sunscreen, insect repellent and a hat are a good thing to bring with you, as well as a beach towel to dry off. There are no convenient stores on the river, so plan to bring water or snacks for your trip in a waterproof baggie or container.
Things to know to plan Your Trip
Trips are available all year long, except we are closed on Thanksgiving Day and December 22 through January 2 each year. 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.
Bring water and snacks especially for the longer treks. Have in some type of waterproof container. Wear some type of water or tennis shoe. Wear sunscreen and bring some too! We encourage you to wear a hat. Insect repellant is helpful. Come ready to have fun!!
