Reed's Canoe Trips provide people of all ages with an adventure close to home. The three trips we offer range in length from approximately 2 hours to a full 6 hours on the water, and are suitable for either new or experienced canoeists.
Our 14-person group had the best 5-hour canoe trip on the Kankakee river, thanks to the Reed's crew. They shuttled all of us from their office to the launch in Momence and picked us up at the river exit in Aroma Park. Reed's provided us with a map of the whole route and informed us of checkpoints along the way. They provided all necessary equipment and even offered helpful accessories (waterproof bags, cushions, etc.) We can't wait to do it again!!

Great day again on the Kankakee River.
Thanks to Reeds canoe trips and Vicky setting it all up. I brought my own 4 kayaks and Vicky’s crew will load up and transport you to and from the river. Reeds also rents canoes and kayaks.
Thanks again Reeds Team.
