Whats a paddleboat?
It’s a raft maneuvered by individual paddles instead of by a massive set of oars, wielded by the guide. This distinction many people have difficulty with but we want you to be extra savvy. Oars are not paddles (sort of like trucks are not cars). Passengers paddle (like Indians in a canoe) but would not try and tackle l0-foot-long oars. We expect that all of our passengers prefer to paddle – whooping and hollering their way downriver. Paddle boats are standard on the Upper Kern.
