Burning River Adventures

Had a great time. We did the short trip at 5pm on a beautiful Saturday evening. Nice folks who checked us in and got us to where kyacks are launched from. Definitely no graceful way to get out! Bring shoes you don't mind getting wet.

Burning River Adventures offers a pleasant trip down a quiet, wooded river. I didn't take my phone because I thought I might dunk it, but I did not come close to that happening. The staff is helpful and pleasant. The equipment is in good shape. I was there with 7 grade school kids. They all had a good time.

I came out to Cuyahoga National Park on a solo trip btwn traveling for an unexpected family issue, and had the weekend to myself before moving back to real life. I called on a friday and was set up to traverse the river by sunday morning. I arrived late because i am always late (🤦🏻‍♀️) and it was no issue at all. The three women were so kind and accommodating, and my specific person helping me was not only so nice and willing to answer all questions i may have had, but fun to talk with as well (btw, Indiana Dunes is NOT my least favorite NP. After thinking about it, its Voyageurs lol)

It was not the best day out as it did get somewhat windy and drizzled slightly, but i think this made for better wildlife viewing. And that is no ones fault but mother nature. I wish i was able to get more and better photos, but grey skies mixed with kayaking doesnt make for the easiest photo taking experience.

But there were countless gorgeous birds practically dancing around me and keeping me bug free. Multiple deer casually grazing on the green grass, and a river otter (taken on the worlds worst video because i didnt want to crash into a tree in the middle of the river lol)

The 6 mile trip was very nice and pretty easy going. Even with my late start, i think i managed it in just about 2 hrs, and was greeted by the entire team upon my return. I will definitely be back with my family and friends to take the other adventures offered. Thanks BR adventures ☺️

I did the short trip with my teenager. Took about an hour. This was only our second time ever kayaking - the instructions were easy and the staff was very friendly. They provided the kayaks and life jackets. We went on a Sunday afternoon and the river was extremely crowded - that would be my only tip is to maybe try to avoid high traffic times. Definitely want to do another trip soon!

We had a great time on the “long float”! We did the BYOK (bring your own kayak) option. Pretty reasonable for hours of floating. They were there to assist at the takeout spot which was very helpful. There was a couple swift water areas but easily navigated as beginners. Would definitely recommend Burning River to anyone!
