    Review summary

    4.7
    Excellent
    209 reviews•Google Maps

    Burning River Adventures delivers consistently excellent kayaking on the calm, scenic Cuyahoga River with staff that reviewers genuinely rave about. Emily and owner Mo get special mentions for being helpful and accommodating, and multiple families highlight how smoothly everything runs, even with young kids in tow. The paddle passes are popular with regulars who return multiple times each season. People love the peaceful wildlife watching (turtles, herons, ducks) and the two mild rapids that add just enough excitement without being intimidating. The operation is impressively efficient from start to finish. Staff handle the heavy lifting, provide quick safety briefings, and wait at endpoints to help with equipment. The booking process is straightforward, and they've even worked in walk-ups when weather forecasts changed. Several reviewers mention the various trip lengths (short, middle, and long routes), with the 6.5-mile option being particularly popular. The main hiccup is occasional confusion about location directions, so double-check your email confirmation. One reviewer noted the river can get crowded with tubers on summer weekends, though weekdays stay quieter.

    By far the most easy going kayaking experience I’ve been on. We were carried by a calm, slow current. It gave us more time to sit back and enjoy the peace, quiet, and beauty of the river. Super friendly and hardworking staff! I will be returning!
