Paddle the most scenic stretch of the Huron!
About Us
Skip’s Huron River Canoe Livery & Outfitters is located across from (East) Delhi Metropark’s main entrance and operated within the Metroparks located in Dexter and Ann Arbor, MI.
Skip’s is a full-service canoe, kayak, and tubing rental facility providing access to the most scenic stretch of the Huron River. Since 1973, we have been offering a family-friendly adventure down the Huron without the hassle of dams, lakes or portages.
With trips launching each hour, morning and afternoon, you can catch a ride on our bus or van, and then canoe, kayak, or tube back to your car, at your own pace.
Whether you’re planning a family outing or getting some friends together for some fun in the sun, we’re here to ensure your experience is one you’ll tell your friends about!
The Metroparks are owned and operated by the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority which requires a daily pass or an annual permit for entry.
This can be purchased the day of your trip at the park entrance toll booth.
Highly Recommended Canoe Trips In Ann Arbor★★★★★
Had a fantastic experience doing the “long trip” with Skip’s. The team was friendly, on time, and very responsive. We had a fantastic trip down the Huron, with lovely scenery and even some wildlife! Cannot recommend this activity highly enough!! Loved it!

A great day on the river! Today was a fast flow so make sure you grab a paddle or two. We had so much fun and met new friends! Don't forget your water socks, much appreciated if you get off your tube. A great time and worth the money. Great customer service..we will be back!!!! ❤

What a great experience -> 3 times so far!! The entire process is simple, efficient and staff is super friendly!! Can’t wait to float the river in the fall when the leaves are changing and the smell of fresh donuts from the cider mill fills the air….

Everything was exactly as promised. They were super friendly and able to answer any and all questions. All of the equipment was clean and well maintained. They were also doing an excellent job balancing all of the requirements and challenges that COVID present. We are hands down planning on going back.

Best place to spend a warm 3 hour+ afternoon. The tubs are cleaned and sanitized after each use. We had 8 people with 8 tubes that we tried together and had a wonderful family experience. Just remember to spend the 30 minutes signing all the safety waivers online before you leave home.

Had a fun and relaxing day couple of hours on the water! I've been kayaking several times, and this was by far the best time. Friendly staff, self-explanatory directions, and a nice distance trip that gives plenty of time to still relax on the water.
