Get Out Adventures - Powell, Ohio

I signed up for the Friday Evening Twilight Paddle. This session is a great opportunity to get out and enjoy an evening with a date, with friends, or solo! You head out onto the water in the evening and head back in as the sun is setting. You are welcomed back to a nice fire pit with s’mores.
It is easy to sign up for any of their packages online. The location is easy to find. I definitely recommend that you bring bug spray as you are outdoors and you park in a grassy area and are close to water so bugs are naturally going to happen. On arrival, there are team members there to greet you. For my session, there was a tent set up to check in. I was stood up on a date so I arrived just a little bit after the other participants had gone out. The team member welcomed me, asked for my name, and when she asked if the other person on my reservation was coming, I let her know the situation and she was kind about it and walked me down to the boat launch to get me set up to head out on my own. She and the other team member helped me get out on the water. I am not new to kayaking but they did ask if I had any questions and gave me directions as to where I could go. I ended up finding the rest of the participants so I just kind of paddled around with them. There is a guide from the company out on the water paddling near the group in case you need anything. One of my close friends who lives nearby called me while I was out there and I asked the guide if it was too late to have her come join since I had a spot that was left open. She said absolutely have her come and she would radio in. I headed back for the boat launch to meet my friend. When I got there, the team had a kayak and paddle ready to go, when my friend arrived, they were ready with the safety waiver and quickly escorted her to grab a life jacket and hope into the kayak.

The entire team I met with was friendly and helpful. I had emailed in about postponing my reservation when my date stood me up prior to deciding to do it on my own and then with my friend. The team was quick to respond to my email and offer to let me use it another time.

Overall I highly recommend the place and I am already looking into the next time I can rent from them. I believe they also offer use of their facilities if you have your own boat.

The money also goes to a great cause!

Another year, another Doggie Paddle Adventure! My pup and I love spending time on the water. There were some low water areas under the bridge I would've liked to know about before heading that way, but the water was just right. We found a spot along the lake shore to pull up and play. If you are not a confident kayaker (which I don't consider myself one), please note this is not a guided experience. It's you, your pet and the kayak. You don't have to adventure too far and can stay close by where the staff can see you. Vicky was very kind at the end of our trip and let me hose off my pup and talked about memberships. We will be coming back!

First time here and certainly won't be the last. They have sit in, sit on top and paddle boards for rent. Their equipment is high quality unlike other kayak rentals that I have been to. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. There are also eagles in the area caught one hanging out in the tree on our way back to the livery. Do yourself a favor and check Get Out Adventures Out.

I surprised my husband with a fun date night. It was so relaxing and peaceful. The staff was amazing and very friendly. They made you feel comfortable and safe. We also loved heading back from kayaking and getting to relax by the fire and make s’mores. What a terrific date night! We will definitely do it again!!!

Wonderful organization and support for Veterans. Staffs were friendly and helpful. My fur baby and I had a fabulous morning paddling the Sioto River and the lakes enjoying nature and wildlife.
