Ray's Canoe Hideaway has provided river access to the Upper Manatee River for over 20 years. We rent canoes and kayaks or you can launch your own paddle or small motor boat from Ray's. Take an hour, half-day, full day or overnight river adventure. We also offer guided canoe tours and nature/eco tours.

Now because of its unspoiled beauty and importance as a vital natural resource, the upper reach of the river has been designated by Florida as a State Canoe Trail and Greenway which will be preserved and protected for future generations.
