SUP to waterfall hike is challenging but worth it!! - This is a wonderful experience for an adventurous and physically prepared family/group. The self guided SUPs are super fun but definitely challenging. The hike is very muddy and having proper shoes (river shoes) is best. Towels, eye protection and snacks will make everything delightful! I felt like it was a great work out and worth it!!!

Paddle board to secret falls - We went to the secret waterfall and it was ….a lot of work. Bring snacks and wear Trex as you will be hiking in mud, slippery rocks, water and rough terrain with a little itty bit of rock climbing. It’s a total of 4 miles of paddling boarding and 1 hour of hiking. You will be hungry and thirsty so plan accordingly. However the rental place makes it easy to load and unload. Launching site is close by with parking. Would rent again from them.

Secret Falls SUP - This was a great adventure! We started by picking up our SUPs at the shop's location which is a very short drive to the boat launch where your journey begins. The guy secured the boards on top of our car rental and gave us clear instructions on where to put it, which side of the river to stay on, and how to get there. We paddled about 45mins going up the river til we got to the spot where you leave your board. The drop spot is super obvious because there were a ton of boards and kayaks already there. The trail is not so obvious. It's not marked very well because the path has overgrown foliage. You will be walking through some water, so west appropriate footwear. My husband tried to stay dry in athletic shoes. It didn't work so well for him. He kept having to take his shoes off and on. Walking in the water barefoot is rough because of all the rocks along the bottom. A couple of times we asked other hikers where the trail heading the waterfall was just to assure ourselves we were on the correct path. The hike is fairly short. About 30 minutes I would say. It was well worth it. A beautiful, serene waterfall awaits you at the end. Make sure you take plenty of water because we needed more than we thought we would. We picked up our boards around noon and turned them in around 4:30pm. You can definitely make the trip longer if you like. This was the 2nd excursion we did this day, so we were to get back a little quicker. Paddling back to the boat ramp took a little longer because the wind is blowing against you.

Ten out of TEN!! - It’s very easy to pick up your board and get on the water. I didn’t catch the person helping me, name, but he was from New Zealand and he was extremely kind and helpful, with directions, getting the board on and off, and just overall friendly

Amazing experience! Loved... - Amazing experience! Loved it! They were great with accommodating us. Make sure to arrive early to get paddle boards (before noon) so you have enough time to go to waterfalls.

It was very easy to pick... - It was very easy to pick up the paddle boards, they help you load the boards on your car and walk you through the path you'll go on. The shop is super close to where you launch the boards so it was just super easy.

Fantastic experience! - We had such a fun experience paddle boarding and hiking to Secret Falls. The river was smooth with a slightly more challenging return ride going against the wind. The falls was a blast— everyone had fun cooling off. The directions and help at the store were amazing— the staff was very friendly.

Very helpful staff. They... - Very helpful staff. They got us everything we needed and provided good directions on parking and the route

Bring plenty of water.... - Bring plenty of water. It's not extremely physically demanding but the trip to the waterfall and back is time consuming.

Average review - We paddle boarded to secret falls hike. It was a great day. The people renting the paddle boards were nice but not extremely helpful. We rented 4 boards - the boards were VERY well used. only 1 of the boards had good bands on them to hold a water bottle or our shoes or anything. We had a toyota tacoma truck we transporting the boards in. The guy helped my 19 year old son put the boards into the bed of the truck and then gave him the tie downs and said you know how to use these. He said yes and then the guy left us to strap in everything by ourselves. When we arrived back he did come out and help unload the boards. We enjoyed our trip and the boarding experience. The price was good but quality could be better.
