River Life is Better!

Come find out why

The Maumee river was recently designated as the "Maumee River Paddling Trail" and it's 108 miles long! If you have a group of 2 or more in Grand Rapids, we'll take you up river as far as you want and work out the details.

You can also sign up for the Tri-Adventure Race in Defiance Ohio. It was a huge success this year and everybody had a good time.

Our mission is to create social awareness of our wonderful waterways and beautiful parks. Please like us on facebook
