Higher Pursuits provides canoe and kayak rentals on the scenic Duck River located near Columbia, TN. Our goal is connect you with the natural wonder of the river while providing great service, quality equipment and a family friendly environment. In addition to our rentals, we provide guided river trips to families, church groups, girl scout troops, and boy scout troops. These guided trips can focus on improving paddling skills, the history of the river and/or the wildlife found in the Duck River. This section of the Duck River is part of the Duck River Blueway and is designated as a state scenic river. The Duck River has something for everyone and can be enjoyed by novices, families, and experienced paddlers. It features historic mill sites and a great abundance of wildlife. Many paddlers are fortunate enough to see great blue herons, belted kingfishers, bald eagles, minks, muskrats and river otters. In the water, there are fish galore and thousands of freshwater mussels. Visit our website for our hours of operation.
