Delaware Round Trip Rides

With these fun, casual rides, you paddle from our launch area in Delaware, Ohio through scenic sections of the Scioto River and the O'Shaughnessy Reservoir and then back to where you began. See below for more information.

What are your ride options for this location? How much does it cost?

  • 1 Hour Rides: Reservations are 1.5 hours with up to 1 hour on the water. The cost is $35 for a single kayak, $45 for a double kayak ($23/person), or $55 for a triple kayak ($18/person) plus taxes and fees. One hour reservations are typically the best option for beginner kayakers and families with small children (4-8 years old).
  • 2 Hour Rides: Reservations are 2.5 hours with up to 2 hours on the water. The cost is $60 for a single kayak, $70 for a double kayak ($35/person), or $80 for a triple kayak ($27/person) plus taxes and fees. Two hour reservations are typically the best option for adults and children (9+) who have previous experience kayaking.

Why are reservations 30 minutes longer than the time on the water?

When you arrive, we will sign you in, help you set up your equipment, explain instructions, and help you launch your kayaks. That process usually takes about 15min. Your return time will be two hours from when you start paddling. When you arrive back at our launch location, you will exit your kayak and return the equipment. The full reservation takes about 30 minutes longer than the time you will spend paddling on the water.

How do I make a reservation?

Standard Reservations: With our standard reservations you can book up to 5 kayaks during a timeslot. If your group needs more than 5 kayaks, please contact us for additional options. Our standard reservations are typically available on weekends, holidays, and occasional weekdays. We frequently add new standard reservation dates/times to our schedule. To stay informed, please check back on our website, subscribe to our email newsletter, or follow us on social media.
