Experience wilderness paddling around the Brighton Howell Area at Heavner Canoe & Kayak Rental.

Launching from one of their four locations in Southeast Michigan, meander on the water through quaint towns and in beautiful state recreation areas, city parks, and Metroparks. The team at this rental center strives to make great memories for the lone paddler to the large school, scout, community, and corporate groups.

Choose the best trip for you, ranging from a one-hour, self-return paddle to a multi-day downriver journey with transportation back to the canoe rental. Check out their website for a list of special events.  Try a sunset or moonlight ride to appreciate the river in a new way with their Moonlight Paddles: paddle into the sunset, about an hour to Milford, enjoy dinner at the downtown restaurant of your choosing, then paddle about an hour back to the launch, under the full moon.

Customized group packages can include paddling instruction, catered meals, nature and river guide services, recreational, team-building, and educational activities on and off the water.
