Since June of 2020, Madison County has had the Madison Outpost Adventures business to assist on those sunny river days. Outpost Adventures, owned by Dawn and Lisa Crofton, is located near Blue Springs, and is a kayak, tube and canoe rental service. They also have campsites, D & L's Cozy Campings, available upon request.
The business got started after injuries made traveling more of a challenge to the Croftons, and they realized that Madison did not have any kayak or tubing service. “It really blossomed from there,” said Dawn. Blue Springs is one of Madison's attractions, and with the addition of Madison Outpost Adventures, it is even more enjoyable.
The pricing for Outpost Adventures:
Single Kayak Rental: $30
Double Kayak Rental: $60
Canoe Rental: $60
Tube Rental: $10
Shuttle Service: $5
The shuttle service is available for purchase if one does not want to worry about getting to their vehicle or where they are putting in. Madison Outpost Adventures asks for customers to call ahead regarding the rentals, especially with the increase in popularity as the town is finding out about this wonderful service.
This business brings about more activities to do in town, especially throughout the hot summer. To stay cool in the water while paddling a kayak or floating in a tube, just contact Madison Outpost Adventures. They can be reached at (850) 673-9069, online at paddle.today or on Facebook, under Madison Outpost Adventures.
