Nestled in the scenic Cannon River Valley, Welch Mill Canoeing, Tubing & Kayaking has been helping families and friends enjoy the beauty of the Cannon River since 1972. As a family-owned business, we take pride in providing a fun, relaxing outdoor experience for generations of visitors each summer.

Whether you’re looking for a short, easy float or a longer trip down the river, Welch Mill offers canoeing, kayaking, and tubing adventures for families, groups, couples, and outdoor enthusiasts of all experience levels.

All trips begin in Welch, where guests check in before being shuttled upstream by bus to their launch point. From there, you’ll enjoy a scenic float back down the Cannon River to Welch, where your vehicle will be waiting for you at the end of your trip.

We are open seven days a week during the season; however, river conditions and water levels can affect operations. For the most up-to-date information on conditions, hours, and closures, please check our website or follow us on Facebook and Instagram before visiting. We do not accept credit cards. Cash only.

We look forward to helping you make lasting memories on the Cannon River.
