Riverside Rentals

Riverside Rentals rents Canoe, Kayak, and Tube trips on the Tippecanoe river in Winamac Indiana. We are located in town by the Town Park. For all our trips, you come to our establishment, we drive you upstream to your starting point. You then float down and eventually end up back at our place, right where your vehicle is. We have 3 different canoe and kayak trips. The most popular is the 7 1/2 mile, average 3 hour trip, a 12 mile trip for the more experience paddler, and the two-day trip for the more adventurous enthusiasts. The tubing trip is more limited. It averages 4 hours. But all trip times vary according to the river depth and how much time you spend playing. The Tippecanoe River is considered the river of lakes. It is fed and nourished by eighty-eight natural lakes. Each lake acts as a settling basin which reduces the amount of silt in the water. Thus, the water is clear giving us one of the cleanest rivers around to enjoy. For the naturalist, there is plenty to see. The banks are lined with willow, maple, pine, oak, and sycamore trees. The Tippi is also host to plenty of wildlife including red-headed woodpeckers, bobwhites, wild ducks, raccoons, and many other critters. For the fisherman, there is good smallmouth bass, northern pike, catfish, and pan fish fishing available. The Tippi is normally a friendly river with gentle currents ideal for the entire family. The average depth is 2-3 FT. most of the season. Come spend some quiet time on this beauty.
