Possession of alcohol by persons under 21 is prohibited. Please do not bring extra large coolers or glass containers. Clements Canoes Outdoor Center would like to remind everyone to drink responsibility as canoeing and drinking do not mix. We are a family establishment.

Dispose of your trash properly.  Trash should not be left in the water or on the banks of Sugar Creek. 
Trash bags and trash containers are provided at the livery. Public access points do not provide trash containers - plan to dispose of your own trash.

Respect private property rights along Sugar Creek.

Deer’s Mill, Inc. reserves the right to refuse rental during high water.  Trips and times may vary due to water level and time of year.  We reserve the right to modify or alter trips if conditions warrant such action.  In these cases, there are no refunds or price differences.
