Our river kayak adventures are self-guided and almost all are beginner-friendly. We provide the kayak, gear, and a shuttle ride upstreamโso all you have to do is float back down to your parked car at your own pace. No loops, no backtracking, no hassle. Itโs the perfect way to explore the outdoors without needing your own gear or experience. We primarily use stable sit-on-top kayaks(sit-ins also available), and the river is generally shallow, calm, and easy to navigate with occasional riffles or rapids that are detailed below.โฃ

This section offers a fascinating blend of tree-lined parks, wooded stretches, and quiet backyards. Itโs one of the most accessible ways to experience the Milwaukee River close to the city, with reliable water levels and regular wildlife sightings, from herons and turtles to deer. The journey starts just below the Thiensville dam and flows south toward Brown Deer, with a bathroom stop available about two-thirds of the way at Mequonโs River Barn Park. A great pick for those wanting a mellow paddle with a mix of natural beauty and neighborhood charm.โฃ
