White Crane Canoe Rentals & Guide Service, Illinois, United States
5.0 (38 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Ullin Kayaking & Canoeing
A hidden gem!
A hidden gem! Found it by accident because our son wanted to kayak and it was the only rental place around. The surprise was the setting: absolutely gorgeous wildlife preserve with a cool water trail to follow through to a pond with the oldest bald cypress in Illinois (1000 years +) in the middle of Eagle pond. The place is unassuming and it is pretty much a swamp. The staff though is super friendly and there wasn’t much bugs. We spent a couple hours paddling around. The map we were given is rudimentary and the markers not always clear and easy to find but it is never the less hard to get lost. Saw lots of herons and turtles. Highly recommend!!

Family Adventure
We took our 6 and 8 year old on a canoe adventure with our guide Mark from White Crane. Mark did an excellent job of taking us to the best places along the Cache River Canoe trail. During the outing, Mark let us know about the history of the river along with a number of other interesting bits of information about the area. Note: You will need to make sure you call ahead for a reservation.
