If you're age three or older and weigh at least 35 pounds, these trips are for you! Let Reed's Canoe Trips get you out on the water without a lengthy car ride to get there. The Kankakee River is just an hour from Chicago, and Reed's offers an array of trips from two to six hours in length and for new and experienced canoeists. These certificates get you two complimentary trips for two canoeists each, so you can plan two outings with a friend or one larger trip with a group.
