Awesome ride through the forest and along the river. The guides were great.
Had a great ride. Enjoyed our guides and the countryside. The beaver tree was amazing. Glad we used the assist, there was only 2 of us on a 4 seat cart.
Perfect!

Happy happy Joy joy!
4 of us ladies, aged 64 - 74, had a delightful time indeed! The hardest part initially was figuring how to get up on our seats...
Unique and scenic pedal powered ride with optional electric pedal assist. Railbikes have been around as long as the existence of trains and bicycles. I've seen a US patent of a pedal powered
rail vehicle dated 1869!
What a great adventure. The ride is fun, the scenery gorgeous and the guides were fun and informative. I’ll definitely do this again when I return to Washington from Florida!
We always bring out of town guests here because it's fun and unique.
