Timeline

Grab a drink and a bite at Duende. The menu is brief and changes weekly, offering fine dining with the Buffalo River's towering grain elevators as a backdrop. This is a good spot to start before or after your paddle.

Head to Elevator Alley Kayak for a rental. They offer single kayaks for $25 per two hours or $40 per four hours (the four-hour rate is available Monday through Friday only). The staff is helpful for novices, and Mutual Park presents a less daunting scenario for your first trip on the water.
