    This outfitter really shines when it comes to white water rafting and adventure activities. Guests consistently rave about their guides—Jeremy, Rocky, Logan, Connor, and Andy all get called out by name for being knowledgeable, safety-focused, and genuinely fun to be around. Families particularly appreciate how the staff handles kids, keeping them engaged and safe while teaching them about local history. The facility itself is clean and conveniently located next to a brewery, with food trucks often on site, which is perfect after a day on the water. The riverfront campsites get praise for their gorgeous views too. There are some notable hiccups worth mentioning. Recent reviews show significant confusion around their synthetic ice skating rink—multiple families arrived expecting traditional ice and left disappointed after just minutes. The marketing apparently doesn't make it clear enough that it's plastic tiles, not real ice, which creates a very different skating experience. A couple of reviewers also mentioned last-minute cancellations due to low ticket sales, which is frustrating when you've planned a trip around the activity. One tubing incident resulted in injuries without apparent safety oversight during the float. The core adventure activities like rafting and ziplining seem solid, but set clear expectations if you're booking newer offerings like the ice skating.

    We had a great time ice skating! The only problem was that they called us to ask that we move our reservation due to an event. We had zero issues with this, and my husband also double and triple checked with them that we'd be able to eat there after skating as well and that the event wouldn't conflict with our dining plans. He was assured - multiple times - that it would not. We were excited to skate and then eat, but once we had finished skating we went to the main brewery/dining entrance and discovered that the event did, in fact, mean that they would be closing early, and we would not be able to dine there as we were promised. We were rather disappointed by this and had to dine elsewhere. The skating was fun though.
