Old Mill Canoe Rental sits on the Blue River in Fredericksburg, Indiana, where 6- and 12-mile floats make an easy day on the water. Families, friend groups, and day-trippers fill the boats, and scenery stays the star while the current does the work.

Most of us drive in and park on-site off US 150. We’re shuttled upriver and set up with canoes or kayaks, then it’s a relaxed paddle back with plenty of sunshine and swim stops. Mornings hum when groups load out, and service keeps things simple and clean. Kids can ride along in a canoe for free.
