Burke's Canoe Trips

We took our scouting crew here this past weekend and enjoyed a great experience from start to finish. Our schedule necessitated some extra attention but Linda was super patient and attentive the 3-4 times that I called and helped me to reserve just what we needed. When we arrived, each of the folks at the reception area was professional and helpful and got our group on the water efficiently. Moving a group of youth can be like herding cats, so while other groups arrived after us, and got on the water before us, the staff was very patient and kept us moving forward…total pros. Equipment was great, instructions were helpful, the pick up spot after the canoeing and kayaking was just as described. The guys there were super nice and efficient too. Camping was comfortable, we loved being able to have a campfire when so many other spots we’ve camped at do not allow them, but most impressive, is how the place is spotless. Bathrooms and shower stalls are so clean, well-lit, even the kids noticed. Those who had KP really appreciated the commercial sink, what a luxury! The folks here genuinely wanted us to have a great time and they did everything they could to ensure that. All of the adult leaders in our group could appreciate their efforts and their attention to details. What an amazingly well-run outfit. Our scouts have asked to return and we would not hesitate! Thank you to Burke’s for setting us up for an absolutely fantastic weekend campout.

First time kayaking and it was such a wonderful experience. From the sights to the wildlife and calm waters. We spent about 4 hours and stopped on the nice private beaches along the river. Little ducklings came right up to the kayak I thought they were going to jump on in! There were a few hilarious moments such as getting caught in the current that took us towards some branches! And getting stuck in the shallow parts of the water in front of bystanders! LOL 😂 Will definitely be coming back and bringing the in laws. Strongly recommend!

Had a wonderful tour throughout the day. Three canoes were about 160$ - Tour took about 3 hours with only a few stops.

Burke's was very fun. Very helpful and kind people. We got a canoe for 95 and spent 3 hours and 44 minutes on the river..the end had no signs, I was worried we were going to miss it. But we didn't, and the driver was nice too I wish I could have tipped him.

Third time visiting Burke's and had just as much fun as the first two! Went with my lady, we had to navigate a bunch of locals on floaties and it was a hot but beautiful day. Always a lovely time on the river with Burke's.

Three generations of our family joined for a canoe trip and it was a blast. I have so much gratitude for Linda and the team for their guidance before we came, great customer service while we were there, for helping us celebrate our kiddo’s birthday, and for mailing back our license that we totally forgot it there. I look forward to coming back!

I looked at a few options for the Russian River for rentals and I can say I'm really glad to have chosen Burke's. They were responsive with getting back to my voicemail, friendly and helpful. I found them concerned for our safety and their gear in great shape. I found they have a few essential items for sale and barrow so don't fret if you just show up, just remember to bring water n sunscreen, that have the rest. I haven't camped here yet but I want to. Price wise and location is why I chose this place n I'm glad. Tip, show up as soon as they open for the most time on the water, especially if you like to stop n take breaks in the shade like we did.

Great trip. The river was very nice. Get there before lunch and bring one to eat at one of the many beaches on the way down river. They don't rush you a long as you make the last bus (5pm ish on the day we went). The paddling was mostly low effort and the river carried us 80% of the time.
