Information and Policies

Okatoma Canoe River Policy

Above all we want your adventure to be a safe and happy one. Therefore we ask that all our guests use common sense and good manners while on the river. Much of the property along the river is privately owned. Please respect the property rights and wishes of the landowners. Do not throw trash or cans into the river, or leave anything on the gravel bars. Place all litter in a litter bag and keep in canoe until the end of the trip.

Please treat our canoes and equipment with the same respect as if it were yours. We expect normal wear and tear on our canoes and for that we do not charge. In the event that a canoe is damaged beyond normal wear and tear, then we expect the repair or retrieval expense. If you abandon your canoe and it is lost or stolen, you will be asked to pay for the canoe. If everyone follows the rules of common courtesy, every canoeist will have a safe and rewarding adventure.
