Just over a mile from your last take-out, you’ll come to the South Fork Village launch on river left. Secure your boat at the launch and hike up the hill to District 8 Beer Company, where they stock close to 100 craft beers from all over the U.S. While the nearby Sun’s Up Scuba is a full service scuba shop for certification, guided trips, and the latest gear, it also offers boat rentals to get you out on the water at the South Fork Village launch. You can make this you’re point of entry for starting a paddling trip as well.
