Bring your friends, your appetite, and your river spirit — we can’t wait to see you out there!

Our sweet OG river dog, Cooper, has gone on to the river gods, where there are unlimited pets, endless river runs, treats galore, and the freedom to roam forever. If you’ve ever gone down our adventure section, you knew Cooper — whether greeting you at check-in, trotting the riverbanks, or relaxing at his home at take-out. He paved the way for every river dog who followed and will be so deeply missed by his entire CRX family 🤎🤎 Feel free to share any pics you may have our big guy below or favorite memory as his family would love to see it!!
