Petric Park
Brady, the owner, seems to be the heartbeat of this operation, consistently praised for his communication, flexibility, and genuine care for guests. Reviewers highlight how he proactively monitors weather conditions, adjusts bookings without fuss, and even lends out gear at no charge. Guides like Mike, Erick, and Cory round out the team with local knowledge and friendly personalities that make tours feel personal rather than transactional. The experiences on offer span kayaking, paddleboarding, snowshoeing, and birdwatching tours, covering destinations like Spring Creek, Crater Lake, and the Wood River Wetlands. Standout moments include glass-bottom kayaks over crystal-clear springs, dancing sand phenomena, and wildlife encounters ranging from bald eagles to great blue herons. Gear is consistently described as well-maintained, and the booking process is straightforward. What really sets this company apart in the reviews is how often guests describe feeling genuinely looked after, not just as customers but as people. Beginners feel welcomed, families feel accommodated, and repeat visitors keep coming back season after season. If you're exploring the Klamath Falls area and want an outdoor experience with a local, personal touch, this crew is hard to overlook.
My friend (1st time kayaker) and I had such a wonderful, memorable time on Spring Creek with Mike (our guide). Prior to, I had a couple phone conversations with Brady (owner) who was very informative, gave recommendations per our skill level as to what might be the most ideal option for us…we were very pleased with every aspect. Spring Creek was beautiful…and is unique for its “Mare Eggs” and “Dancing Sand”… you may just need to go discover these wonders for yourself! We would recommend that you do!
