Kayak & U-Pick Flowers – GardenView

Spend a relaxing evening on the water with this combo activity from Maumee River Outfitters and GardenView Flowers. You'll start with a guided paddle down the Maumee River, then wrap up your outing by hand-picking your own flower bouquet as the sun sets. The whole experience comes together with transportation between the kayak launch and the flower field, plus all gear included. Both single and tandem kayaks are available, so you can paddle solo or bring along a partner or older child. At $55 per person, this outing welcomes all ages and runs regularly on Friday and Sunday evenings throughout the season. The price covers your kayak rental, transportation, and flower-picking time. Food trucks often set up at GardenView on select dates (those costs are separate). Book ahead through their website or by phone at 419-830-3077 or 419-893-3474. The company maintains a 48-hour cancellation policy, and they'll have your reservation ready when you arrive—no need to stop by beforehand. Note that the river route depends on water levels, so if conditions don't allow paddling downriver, you'll float an alternate route instead.
