Run-A-Muck Outfitters

First time using Run-​A-​Muck for a river trip and will be using them again. We did the Red River trip and our group of 5 rented two tandem kayaks and a single. The one tandem was older and the seat back was not in good shape which caused a bit of an issue on the back for the 7 mile trip.
We were picked up at Port Royal State Park right on time. Once we did the paperwork we loaded up onto the van and off we went. It was a hot day and the van didn’t have air conditioning but it wasn’t too bad as long as we were moving.
The workers were all very nice and helpful. The trip was really fun. The river was down a bit so we had a few spots were we had to walk the kayaks but for the most part it was a very nice trip. The river was not busy at all which was a surprise.
The cost for the trip was very reasonable and I look forward to using them again.

Great river trip. On time with helpful service. Thanks for the fun!

My husband and I used a Groupon to try this company out for a canoe trip. It seems like a relatively small, family-​owned company, which was nice. They were very friendly and helpful. After I submitted a request for a time online, someone called back the next day to set me up. There were several rivers to choose from on their website, but the Groupon was only for Sycamore Creek, so obviously we did that one. Someone also called 2 days before our trip to remind us and give us driving directions, and they texted the morning of the trip to confirm.
We met at a seemingly random spot on a farm, but it turned out to be perfect because we just walked down to the water — no need for transport. They carried the boat for us, with the obligatory life jackets (we didn’t wear them). Sycamore Creek was a very pretty ride, although it was shallow in some areas and we did get stuck on the rocks a few times. Granted, we’re not veteran canoe-​ers — we’ve probably done 3 or 4 river trips — but it is a creek, so it’s going to be somewhat shallow. That did make it easy to get out and stand in the water to cool down, though; the water was cool and very clear, which was nice. They picked us up near a big bridge and drove us back to the parking area. Very easy, relaxing, great service — definitely recommend, although if I did it again, I would choose a different route. They have a TON of options online — check the website. They also have kayaks and inner tubes, if you prefer to go tubing or kayaking.
