At Franklin Kayak LLC, we strive to create an environment that encourages the exploration and appreciation of the outdoors through kayaking. You will enjoy the Great Miami River as you paddle through some of the most beautiful, natural surroundings in the area.
One of the great things about kayaking is how accessible it is to practically anyone. Regardless of your age or experience level, you can have fun on the water. Of course that’s just one reason why kayaking is a great family activity. Kayaking eases anxiety, reduces depression, and increases self-esteem. Paddling down the river is a form of natural therapy that uplifts the mind by surrounding yourself with nature.
To begin your kayaking journey, we'll drop you off at Hutchins Station Reservoir , at the corner of Shephard Road and Dayton Cincinnati Pike in Miami Township, Ohio.
The Pickup/End Point will be three hours later across from Atlas Roofing off of Miami Avenue in Franklin, Ohio.
