Always a great time! But some updates from the last time I was there. Website does not get updated. Call if youre wondering about anything.They are only doing the 6 miles since covid could change at any time. But keep it in mind. The 11 and 19mile are only allowed to be started at 9am when they open. So make sure to call the day before to ask any questions.The prices are right online but I just wanna say I loved it. I always do. Great staff wonderful creek and even if it was hard to just cruise on through yesterday but that is fine. Also they have these things I call mini rapids which are just some rocks you got to navigate through.Stay safe have fun!

This trip owes me nothing! It was absolutely wonderful being out there on the water. It took us a little under 4 hours to travel 6.25 mi. The water was fairly low, and it was an easy going trip. The water did most of the work, and we only used our paddles to overcome some minor rocks and fallen trees in a couple spots. They were easy to maneuver; and, the sun was absolutely radiant. Staff were amazing too.

Kayaks were very clean and staff was awesome 😎

They dont take good care of their boats. They also gave me a boat that came with a hole already in it. Last, most of their kayaks dont have the plug on them so water doesnt get in. Therefore, if you want some fun on a river. Just go to the little Miami river. Better than what they got.

Great time for in would say ages 11+ maybe 12+. Very beautiful and serene. For the ease of access and cleanup no better deal. We had a blast!!

Never floated with them but they have let us park and float and have access in and out of the creek without complaints. Seem like really good people.

This was a father day gift 🎁 from my son Jamie Bryans. My first time kayaking great time water levels perfect 👌. The owner was great to talk with gave us great advice on what to look out for on our adventure. Got to see a eagle 2 times plus ➕ ducks and turtles 🐢.

This was the worst kayaking experience i have ever had. The kayaking route was nice but the business itself was absolutely horrible. There was no direction, stood around for over an hour, they did not have any kayaks ready. My friends kayak had holes in it. Getting into the water, they did not assist with getting your kayak in, it was a free for all, but of course they did not communicate that. Definetely needs ran better.

Owner good man down to earth an most of workers are Kool but few.. other then that I love seeing my reg.. come back soon

This past Sunday. We go at least once a year every year but we missed last year due to Covid-19. I almost always see bald eagles. This time we seen a younger juvenile that was getting his white in his head and tail but was still mottled. He circled over us low several times. When we were sure he had left he came back again.Nice relaxing float down the Paint Creek. We were the only ones on this trip but eventually caught up with some others dropped off an hour before us.

Havent been in several years but was a great time when we were there

They give you a ride up river and drop you off for a small fee. Perfect.

We go kyaking here all the time. Very relaxing

It was an awesome time. Beautiful!!

Had a great time out on the water!

Cheap, low-key kayaking. They drive you 6 miles down the creek and you grab a kayak and paddle and get going - no guide, go at own pace. Creek is scenic and pretty peaceful. Their shortest trek (6 miles) was a little long for my kids, but we made it.

Great ride!

We waited 2 hours from our reservation before we got on the river. The river was great. The reservation was not. Had I been told ahead of time, I would have picked a different time. Pretty disappointing being this was our first experience with the company.

Very nice place. Very friendly people! Great location for kayaking!

Was very fun. Would go again. It was easy and people where nice.

Nothing beats a day of Yakin with friends and family. There are options for distance (6 and 12 miles I believe) and they shuttle you to the drop off site up stream so you can Yak back to the livery (and your vehicles). You can bring your own boat or rent them if you want. They will load the boats for you. Not having to worry about the logistics of it all makes it worth the price.Additionally there are spots along the creek where you can beach and have some fun. About halfway from the 6 mile drop off, you can stop and use a rope to swing out and jump into the creek (at your own risk). Watch out for a large rock under the water near the edge or youll lose a toenail like I did one year... A bit farther down the creek you can stop and hang out on the Big Island where youll find a grill/fire pit and some space to have some fun with friends. I have not fished the creek but youll likely see a few others with their rods and reels trying their luck.FYI, You can bring coolers for refreshments and snacks (as long as your Yak has room). Overall, Ill keep coming back again and again!

The cabins are cute and the staff were very friendly. Ive been 3 times and I plan on many more adventures at Waters Edge. Kayaking on Paint Creek is beautiful 😍

Not good for newbies. The van to get to drop of point was absolutely disgusting and the driver drove terribly. Van just stopped amd I was left with my 2 daughters, no help getting into the water or any instruction. Thankfully there were 2 very nice young men also kayaking at the same time who helped us. Got stuck in a tree, almost tipped and lost my paddle in said tree within the first 20 mins. Had no contact info so my daughter and I took her paddle and made two one sided paddles. Scenery was beautiful, everyone on the river was extremely friendly. Made it back and the staff watched as I asked for help to get up the bank almost passing it. Jumped out as fast as I could because the current was still taking my kayak but ended up tipping and in the water completely. Still yelling for help, staff still just staring at me, had another woman who didnt work there help me. You really should make people aware that you are not good for beginners.

Awesome day on the water

I like that it is priced by boat instead of per person. The staff were very nice, the man who drove us to our start point was very outgoing and offered some funny stories during the drive. They keep it simple but fun, nothing was complicated. Pay for your boat grab a life jacket and go. We had a blast.

My wife and I went kayaking at waters edge and it was our first time and it was amazing. ...the water is so relaxing and the views are awesome. ..the staff was awesome as well...Had so much fun we are hoing again this weekend and taking all our friends...best time ever outdoors.Thank you Waters Edge you rock ...!!!!

Showed up, wasnt greeted very nicely at all. Left the site in what can only be called a potential serial killer van, so that we could drop off a few kayaks to another group who didnt have enough. Thats fine. Then we head to get dropped off at our spot, only to be short by 3 kayaks for our group. Youd think someone would count? As we wait for them to bring us more kayaks, we ask where our place to begin is... One worker points down a heavily overgrown path of steep rocks. Literally no help was offered to get down said rocks. Once our group took the kayaks down (after my husband fell down the rocks) there was no good place to enter the water. It was extremely steep so literally everyone in the group just had to slide down after their kayak and climb in muddy and wet. Help wouldve been appreciated. The river was great, but that had absolutely nothing to do with this business or their employees. Every other place Ive ever been is very friendly and its certainly an expectation to help guests into their kayaks/ get the kayaks to where they will at least leave from. They also didnt tell us any ending point or landmarks to look for... Not impressed and wont be returning. We did the 11 mile route just for informations sake.

Friendly folks and clean gear. Good price.

We go kayaking a lot. The owner is great, always recognizes us, is very friendly and strikes up a conversation. His staff is awesome. They work hard loading, unloading the kayaks and the kayaks are always clean and in good condition. We normally go on the 6 mile float, relaxing! We have been on the 11 mile float, takes most of the day unless your a nonstop paddler. On the 11 mile it is pretty neat to see the classic cars on the edge of the creek.. people must not have know what a gold mine they had! Have yet to do the 19 mile. Ive been told that Coppers Mountain ( a hill to a California native ) can be seen. Coppers mountain is beautiful, Ive drove to the top of it in the past.

Great kayaking/canoe route. Not too long, but you can definitely make a full day out of it! If youre dropping your own kayaks/canoes in the water, and having someone pick you up, having a truck is highly recommended. The drop point has deep ruts and lots of mud - passenger cars beware.

Had fun on the water. I hadnt been on a canoe in 20 years. Paid got life vest then loaded in Van. When we got to the river the unloaded the canoe and were about to leave. No instructions given had to ask to make sure we just went down stream until we got back to the livery. Had fun but only way I knew we had reached the end was a small sign identify the livery. With really shallow Waters we grounded about 20 feet from shore. No one was around​so we just left vest in canoe on the bank.

Be nice if someone actually called you back or anwsered the phone for that matter dont know if there open or went out of business other then that really nothing to complain about

Floating is just so much fun. You make it what u want. A relaxing, peaceful float or take kids and just have a blast!

Very dirty place. If they took a moment and cleaned up the place...the bathrooms were TOTALLY disquesting. just down right nasty. Canoeing was nice though.

They werent very organized. We had our group trip booked for two days and we were supposed to be in the river by at least 11:30 am but they didnt load enough canoes or kayaks for us and we didnt have any paddles for the two canoes we did have. Had to wait an hour until someone could bring what we needed. Once we got out there it was great! Beautiful place to kayak and very friendly people. We did get some of our money refunded so that helped! I would go again.

Was an awesome time today on the water! Bring sunscreen and stay hydrated and you might just have your best day of the summer!

Pitched a tent for a couple of nights and took the Jones levee trip. Water was great and the staff was very friendly. Would definitely do this again!

Drove up from Kentucky to meet some friends here. Super friendly staff and a great place to kayak and camp. Would come back every chance I had.

The absolute best. Great friendly owner. Nice Cabins.

First time kayaking, great experience, the only problem I had was getting down to the creek( Im 70 with balance issues) a nice fellow with Waters Edge helped me down; had a great time from then to the end.

Amazing view, friendly service, and affordable day long adventure. Ive been twice in the past month, and both days have been amazing

Had a great time prepare for mosquitos though

The management here needs some work as well as the communication between the drivers delivering the kayaks and the people back at the office. Left us waiting for 35min ro be picked up.

Super friendly and chill staff. A great location for a leisurely float if you arent looking to do much intense paddling.

Always a great time been going for years

It was amazing, fun and relaxing!! I highly recommend this place for tons of family fun!!

Ive gone here for 2 years and loved every minute....Highly Recommended if in area

Easy to get to and friendly staff. There are nice.little cabins to rent here even if the campsites are a little close together.

Me and my son had a blast cant wait to do it again with my son and my husband.

We asked for the smallest package but was taken on the longest one. Not a family friendly place we got stuck tons of times on rocks .We got trapped against a tree and flood build up the canoe flipped and if to random guys hadnt stopped to help us we would have all died. When we called them and we were told we should feel honered and not her river not her problem . We found out the ower has been away dealing with a family emergency he refunded our money and was appalled by our experience. He will be cleaning up both the river and the staff

Absolutely freakin love this place! Every time we come we have a blast!!!

Wonderful time with friends went may 2015. Nice place and peoplw.

We come here several times a year camping and kayaking. People are nice and friendly cute little cabins or tent space

Quite disorganized outfit. We had a reservation for the 11 a.m. float. Got there at 10:30, couldnt pay till the girl showed up, then no key for the till. Once on the way to the launching spot, a half hour late, someones canoe fell of the carrier. No one to help us when we came back in.

Love this place great people awesome experience been goin for years goin today actually

This is a great place to take the family for a trip down the river

Words cant describe. Super friendly staff always willing to help any way they can.

Best place to kayak in southern ohio .
