Cincinnati is a river town, and we’re not just referring to the Ohio River that beautifully outlines our downtown. There are many running bodies of water throughout the area that are perfect for canoe adventures, kayaking, and floating, and summer is the best time to get out and enjoy them. Our city’s riverfront rental companies are open and ready for the season and one locally-owned place is a must-try in Cincinnati. Green Acres Canoe Rental is right on the Indiana/Kentucky/Ohio border and offers wonderful opportunities to get out on the Whitewater River. Pick your favorite vessel, perhaps try tubing in Cincinnati, and then enjoy this all-day float trip that will make your Cincinnati summer complete.

Green Acres Canoe Rental is located in Harrison, just off I-275 on the Whitewater River. It's a picturesque and serene spot that's ideal for any type of water adventure.

Green Acres offers a variety of options for enjoying the river and provides fun for all ages (children must be at least four years old AND weigh over 40 lbs.). When you arrive, you'll purchase your trip and decide on either a canoe, kayak, or tube, and then pick out a life jacket. A bus will take you to the starting point, which is also where you will get your boat.
Green Acres offers two different trips along the river - a 3-mile trip and an 8-mile trip. Canoes, kayaks, rafts, and tubes are welcome on the shorter trip, while the longer trip is for canoes and kayaks only.

What else can I do besides tubing on the Whitewater River?

When heading out on the Whitewater River with Green Acres, you have several options to choose from. Of course the relaxing tubing excursion is always fun, but you can also rent a raft for multiple people, a canoe, or a kayak. There are also multiple trip lengths so you can customize your time out on the water.

Does Cincinnati have clean rivers?

When discussing Cincinnati rivers, many refer to the Ohio River as being dirty and filled with things that would make you want to stay away. While it isn't as clean as the Whitewater and other nearby rivers, there are spots on the Ohio River that are just fine for swimming and other water activities.
