Fever River Outfitters

When searching for outdoor adventure, look no further than Fever River Outfitters! Located right on Main Street, it's an easy walk from Aldrich Guest House to enjoy canoeing, kayaking, or stand up paddleboarding on the Galena River. If dry land is more your style, they also rent road bikes, hybrids, fat tire bikes, and even electric bikes to make sure you don't tire yourself out too much!

While the business itself has been a Galena staple for years, new owners Chris and Sean, brothers who grew up in Galena, recently took over and have some exciting plans for the upcoming season.

Bicycles and E-Bikes

Kayaks not your thing? No worries! Fever River Outfitters also rents bicycles and electric bikes. There are lots of hills in Galena so the e-bikes are an excellent way to make sure you have that extra little ‘assist' when you need it. Take a ride down the Galena River Trail to Chestnut Mountain and ride the chair lift to the top. You can choose to add either the Chestnut Mountain Adventure Package (which includes a Soaring Eagle zipline ride, unlimited Alpine Slide rides, and one round of miniature or frisbee golf) or you can choose a Mississippi River cruise where you'll enjoy an amazing view and learn a lot about the history and geography of the Mighty Mississippi (cruise available weekends only).

Kayaking and Canoeing

For those looking to enjoy the Galena River, Chris and Sean have opened several new trips which add a bit more adventure. Novice paddlers can choose the 2-hour paddle from Buckhill to Galena where the water is gentle and all you need to do is float along with the current. If you're able to navigate some small yet exciting rapids and up for a 4-hour trip, check out the Council Hill to Galena route. And lastly, for a full 8-hour adventure, the New Diggins to Galena trip gives you the day to enjoy the river, stop for lunch (pack your own!), and to fully appreciate what the river has to offer.
