Catfish Canoe Co

The owner Henry is as nice of guy as you’ll ever meet. He was more than helpful with all the question we had on our trip, and even called us every day to give us an update on the water levels as our departure day approached. We didn’t even have to call him to come pick us up when we we’re done because he was already waiting for us at the boat launch ramp to make sure we didn’t miss it. He not only rented us the Canoe and gave us a ride to where we launched our boat, but he also had all the equipment including life-​vests, dry bags for our stuff, and extra straps so we didn’t lose our gear. To go along with that Henry was extremely knowledgeable about the river even giving us a turn by turn map to show us where the rapids were, how to avoid them, and also showed some landmarks so we could keep track of where we were on our day long trip. Also he gave us directions/​suggestions about an excellent hike we could do along the river to break up the time we spent canoeing.
I would recommend Catfish Canoe to anyone who is considering Canoeing, Rafting, Kayaking, or Tubing in the Grand Junction area.

It is the end of summer and our friends’ kids need one last summer treat before school starts; we wanted to make a peach and corn run. A canoe trip with not much more than class 2 rapids near Palisades and Olathe seemed like a perfect treat.
Catfish Canoe in Grand Junction rented us canoes and shuttled us from Escalante Bridge to Bridgeport on the Gunnison River. What makes Catfish Canoe Co, special is Henry, the owner. Not only do you get your canoes but all the extra gear needed to haul treats and towels. Henry offered the kids soaking guns and cookies and he offered The husband and I seat backs for extra comfort.
Shuttling cars and getting the canoes on and off the river was so easy with the help of Joe, Henry’s assistant.
A great day was had by all and thanks to Catfish Canoe Co for making it happen.
