The staff at the ranch are all really lovely. And the kayaking is amazing. I definitely recommend doing the river kayaking rather than the lake kayaking because you get to see the beautiful wild horses as you kayak down the river. I accidentally booked the lake trip, but it was still beautiful and fun. Well worth it! We have done the river trip in the past. Be sure to pack some snacks in your waterproof bag so that you can pull up to one of the banks and have a bit of nosh while you relax, and look out and admire nature’s beauty.
