About

Drifty's Canoe Rental is a canoe rental service in Ontario offering rentals for adventures on the Kickapoo River. We provide canoes, kayaks, and inner tubes for single-day trips along the Kickapoo River, which winds through Wildcat Mountain State Park. Our team assists with logistics like shuttle services for groups, ensuring a smooth experience from launch to pickup. We are open seven days a week, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with a rental cutoff time of 4:00 PM. Our canoes are Old Town Discovery models, and we offer various single-person kayaks to suit different needs for your float.

Friendly and helpful for first timers to this beautiful stretch of the Kickapoo! Came with family that has used Drifty's, exclusively, for over 30 years!! Will definitely recommend and return again.

We had a great canoe trip! My 82 year old Mom and my Dog were both with us, and I was a little nervous about the trip. The staff was SO kind and helpful, and they made me feel totally at ease. They gave my Mom a special comfortable seat, and my dog got a life vest too. The river is beautiful, and we all had a wonderful time! Thank you!

My husband and I were first time kayakers and our experience was seamless! The employees were so kind and answered all of our questions. The kayaks we rented were spacious and we were both able to fit a lunchbox and drawstring bag in the back compartment. We had plenty of leg room, too! We were with a large group with a majority who brought their own kayaks. Drifty’s was helpful to bring us to the launch site of our group so we could launch together. A few of our group members parked their vehicles at the end of the route and Drifty’s was helpful in shuttling them to the beginning before we went on the water. They made the logistics of a large, 16 person group of people easy. Highly recommend!

We went on this kayaking trip for my daughter’s 20th birthday. We had the best time. The owners of Drifty’s are absolutely amazing. They are very professional, informative, friendly and knowledgeable. The day we were there informed us that the Kickapoo river recently flooded! They also worked tirelessly to clear trees that has fallen down from the store! His wife scored the river before our arrival and informed us there would be a section where we would have to carry the Kayaks around the fallen tree! That was fun as well! I highly highly recommend Driftys to anyone who is interested in kayaking or canoeing in the area! Thank you so much for everything we have a great time!
