Petric Park
Brady and his team have built something special in southern Oregon, offering everything from kayak rentals to guided tours across the region's stunning waterways and trails. The glass-bottom kayak experiences at Spring Creek get particularly high praise, with the crystal-clear water and underwater springs creating memorable outings. Guides like Erick, Mike, Cory, and Mark consistently earn recognition for their local knowledge, friendliness, and ability to make both beginners and experienced paddlers feel comfortable. What really stands out is the flexibility and personal service. Brady regularly meets customers directly at launch sites, accommodates last-minute schedule changes, and goes above and beyond with thoughtful touches like lending trekking poles at no charge. The easy booking process and responsive communication make planning straightforward, whether you're renting equipment for a self-guided adventure or joining a guided tour to spot eagles and herons. Groups return year after year, and first-timers consistently mention feeling welcomed and well cared for throughout their experience.
We booked a snowshoe tour with Brady. Talked to him a few times before we arrived and he was super helpful with not only their tour but other adventures in Oregon for our stay. We ran into travel issues on the front end of our trip and he switched our tour date later in the week to accommodate us with no issues. Communication was fantastic. We had the pleasure of having Corey on our tour who was fun to chat with and gave us the best experience! We will definitely be back to experience their summer adventures!
