About
Ray's Canoe Hideaway sits on the Upper Manatee River in Bradenton, offering canoe and sit-on-top kayak rentals for hour, half-day, full day, and overnight trips. The outfitter also welcomes paddlers launching their own canoes, kayaks, and small motorboats from the location at 1289 Hagle Park Rd. You can camp primitively on the river or at nearby Rye Wilderness Park. The spot sits minutes from Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, and the broader Tampa Bay region, making it a natural base for exploring Florida's waterways.
