River Kayaking Tips

Get Educated

Call the local livery to see if they offer guided trips or get in touch with a kayak school for some beginner river kayaking lessons.

River Reading

When beginners look at a river, they just see moving water. But with some training, you’ll be able to recognize changes in current from afar, submerged rocks and trees (strainers), and places where it’s safe to rest and regroup (eddies are usually a good spot).

Tag-Along

If you’re paddling a river for the first time, go with a friend who has paddled the river before. Whether or not they’re an expert, you can at least rely on them for the inside scoop as you paddle.

Check the Weather Before You Go
Ferry Gliding

Ferry Gliding is a skill useful in whitewater paddling and recreational boating which will increase your control over the river. Perfecting ferry gliding will allow you to move across the river without being carried downstream…
