River Trips Create Opportunities for Adventure and Relaxation

Skip’s Huron River Canoe Livery & Outfitters offers outdoor recreation opportunities for visitors seeking adventure, relaxation and a closer connection to nature. Operating since 1973, the Ann Arbor-area destination offers canoe, kayak and tubing experiences along one of the most scenic stretches of the Huron River, making it a popular choice for families, couples, friends and outdoor enthusiasts.

The company provides a variety of river trips designed to accommodate different experience levels and interests. The Dexter-Huron to Delhi Metropark Paddle Trip, available on weekdays, starts at $26 and typically takes one to two hours. The Dexter-Huron to Delhi Metropark Tubing Trip, available every day except Wednesday, starts at $28 and generally lasts two to three hours. For visitors seeking a longer adventure, the Hudson Mills to Delhi Metropark Paddle Trip starts at $40 and offers three to four hours on the water.

Unlike many other waterways, the scenic section of the Huron River served by Skip’s allows visitors to enjoy their outing without navigating dams, lakes or portages. Participants paddle or float through beautiful Metropark landscapes while observing wildlife, wooded shorelines and the tranquil character that makes the river a favorite destination for outdoor recreation.

To enhance convenience, Skip’s provides transportation to launch sites, allowing guests to return to their vehicles at the conclusion of their trip. With departures scheduled throughout the day, visitors can easily plan an outing that fits their schedule.

Whether planning a family adventure, a gathering with friends or a peaceful day on the water, guests discover an enjoyable way to experience the natural beauty of southeast Michigan. Skip’s continues its longstanding tradition of helping visitors create memorable experiences on the Huron River.
