Jen and Alex took great care of us even though we were a little late for our start time. Thanks for a great adventure with my kids!!

Great tubing experience on the river which is mostly clear and cool year round. It is expensive to rent that tubes, kayaks and canoes. So if you have your own then you'd be better off to bring them and just use the state park and river

When our transportation broke down a mile and a half away from the main office, the staff at Blackwater Canoe Rental kindly dispatched one of their own vehicles to come fetch us. The price is reasonable, the kayaks are in great shape, and the staff are very accommodating. We had a great time on the river and all was not lost due to our vehicle issues.

Do not book online! I booked a tubing trip online with Blackwater Canoe rental. Called on the way to confirm our booking and our arrival time. Arrived on time (early actually) to the main office. Went to the designated pick up site as instructed. Waited as 3 busses came to drop customers at the river. When our name was not called out-went to each bus driver to double check that our name was not on their list. It wasn't. After an hour and 20 minutes of waiting in the hot parking lot, I insisted that something must be wrong as we were booked for a trip departing at noon and it was now 1:20PM. They insisted that we were surely on the "next bus" each time. After 2 more "next busses" we insisted that they call the main office. We were then told to get on the next bus which we did. We then boarded the bus and the attendants accused us of not paying, trying to get a free trip, etc. Finally, we were told that because we booked (and paid in full) online, we weren't on any list. They eventually found our paid reservation and took us to the river. The river trip itself was great. But the customer service experience was awful. Felt awful being rudely accused of trying to steal a trip in front of children. Poor customer service and disorganized. I would not use this rental company again. Worst part was that I had tipped online in advance.

The rafting experience is so fun and calming! The trip on the rafts is long and relaxing, scenery is awesome! The trees you want to try to avoid because at some points it can be hard to get out of. But it is really relaxing!

If you can get past the meth heads fist fighting in the water over who’s shooting up and the people smoking weed on every sandbar, it’s actually a really nice and peaceful float. Would recommend, just be sure to bring a pew pew.

We had a good trip, even though the weather didn't cooperate. We'll go back again.

First time here. It definitely was an adventure. Dark water kinda freaked me out. Couldn't see what was below me. Fast moving current. Lots of doors to stop and rest.

Beware of state park parking. I feel like we paid “blackwater canoe” for parking but when we got off the river we got at parking ticket from the state park. When I took it to the blackwater main office they said “we have nothing to do with parking “. But I think we paid already

Disappointed to learn they would not run shuttles on Mondays and Tuesdays. Arrived nearby on a Friday and had a hard time connecting with them. Got a shuttle for Sunday, which left me with 2 days of no shuttles. Gentlemen were nice once we made contact.River trip stated to be 11 miles, barely registered 8 on my GPS.
