This river is so fun to float on. With Alcona Canoe Rental, you pick one of the available "launch" times and you need to be prepared to leave at that time. We have been here several times now and we always leave the parking lot to head to the launch site right on time. They are timely and really organized. We have been really impressed with our visits there and look forward to more trips next year. I highly recommend this business as they really make it a good experience.
