Guided Trips
Enhance your Lynches Scenic River paddling trip by taking one of our experienced guides along with your group. These guided trips are good for paddlers of all skill levels, from those who would like a little more instruction to those who just enjoy paddling with others to share the adventure. Our ACA Certified guides will give a brief paddling and safety talk before each trip and can help you along the way. Advance registration is required for all guided trips.

One guide for up to 2 boats/4 people = $50*
Two guides for up to 4 boats/8 people = $100*

Additional boat(s)/people may be added based on the experience level of the group, as determined by guide.
*Guided trip fees are in addition to boat rental fees as shown above (with the exception of security deposit). Minimum rental of at least two boats to reserve a guided trip.
