We also would like to Thank all our previous Customers for over 30 years of Canoe trips on the Fox River! I will leave this site up for a while for ppl to see for info and pictures. We will also still take phone calls for Info/Adivice/refferals to other rental company's, or if anyone wants to talk to Wes about all his trips and all the fun we had out on the water!

Thanks again to all my Canoe Friends! - Bruce Schmidt

Enjoy the scenic beauty of the Fox river, as you paddle on a (3) hour canoe trip.  Schmidt's Canoeing Service has been running this trip for over (25) years.

You will enjoy breath-taking views along the way.  The trip is full of interesting scenery.  Also, there many different kinds of wildlife like: deer, beavers, great blue herons, swans, ducks, canadian geese, kingfishers, etc.

Experience this after only a short drive from the big city.  You'll be suprised how relaxed and refreshed you'll feel after a day on the Fox river.

Please take a look at the other pages here on our site.  We hope that you will decide to take our trip.  If so, give us a call and we will be happy to answer any questions that you might have and/or arrange a trip for you. 

After canoeing the Fox river, maybe you would like to try a trip on the Kishwaukee river.
