Canoeing
White’s 17 foot canoes are safety inspected and are registered by the Michigan State Waterways Commission. Privately owning six landings and three campgrounds along the river allows White’s to provide the most efficient and greatest diversity of watersports and camping to suit the needs of your group.
Tubing
There is no better way to spend a steamy, hot summer day than drifting down the Rifle in a tube. For those interested in relaxing, this is the trip for you. Trips vary from a few hours to a whole day. Cooler tubes may be rented to carry picnic essentials to make for a most enjoyable trip. Deluxe tubes are also available.
Kayaking
For those more adventuresome in spirit, kayaking is the ride for you. Our kayaks are designed with the beginner in mind. They are lively and swift, easy to operate and very balanced. Kayaks are a great option, especially when you have an odd number of people in your group. It’s sure to be an experience you’ll never forget.
Rafting
Rafting is another way to enjoy the Rifle River. The rafts hold 4 adults and are wonderful for families and senior citizens. Since the rafts don’t tip, they are great for those who have all the intentions of staying dry. For more information on this new experience, please call White’s Canoe Livery.
