Their model is straightforward:

1. They handle setup — Equipment is ready, parking is marked, staff greets you 2. You have fun — Paddle, bike, float, or fish at your own pace 3. They handle cleanup — Collect gear and get you back to your vehicle

Safety is non-negotiable. They follow all regulations, provide necessary training, and cancel trips only if weather poses real risk (thunderstorms, flooding). Refunds only issued if Elkhorn cancels.
