We called Dustin the morning we wanted to kayak and we arranged a time to start at 1:00 pm. We rented two deluxe kayaks and started on a 3 hour float trip - putting in at the 221 Access Point at New River State Park and floating back to the Dusty Trail location on Garvey Road. The Trip was so beautiful and peaceful - we saw wildlife along the river bank, enjoyed to small rapids, and stopped on a small island for lunch. The Deluxe Kayaks were a good choice for me and my wife since we both stuggle with lower back pain. Dustin is a great guy....has is a native to the area and is business is only a few years old, but is very friendly and appreciative of your business. He is just starting his family and is exactly the type of business I like to visit! Great time! Go see Dustin and he'll hook you up on a great adventure!
I've been twice now to Dusty Trails Outfitters and both times we had an amazing time on the river. Dustin is a local and knows the river very well and he and his team are the best we have used. I've been with some of the bigger outfits in the area and will never paddle the river with anyone other than Dusty Trails Outfitters. My family is already talking about our next trip!
Dusty’s is our favorite place to camp. He offers huge sites, where you can have privacy or have several campers on one site. The sites are on the New River and you have beautiful scenery. Dusty and his staff are very kind and knowledgeable of the river. They are always willing to offer their help.
I’ve been 3 times so far and brought new people each time. Great trips, good equipment, and good guys to help you. Stayed in the campsites. Each with it’s own clean porta-potty. Will definitely go back again.
Affordable beautiful kayaking! Kindest people ever, they upgraded us to a deluxe kayak when we initially payed for a longer trip and had to change it due to the weather. Also very informative about when the rapids were on the trip and how to maneuver them, though they ended up being very calm and no problem at all!
