Please see our River Trips and Fishing & Hunting pages for wilderness activity providers we work with.  We can also provide a Shuttle Service if you require our help in moving your vehicles to/from trailheads or put-in/take-out spots on the river.  You must arrange this in advance.  Our shuttle fee, which depends on the number of people and distance to be traveled, is very reasonable -- talk to Bob at the Resort Office.  It usually works this way:  Come to the Office (if it's a river trip, you should already have dropped off your boat at your put-in point).  Our van will follow you to your take-out point or hike-out point, where your will park your vehicle (and boat trailer) where it will be waiting for you at the end of your wilderness trip.  We'll then shuttle you to your trip starting point.

Note: Please let us know if you find any errors or omissions on this table
