COLUMBIA'S ORIGINAL
rIVER Outfitter
This year, River Runner Outdoor Center marks 40 years of providing paddle sports products and services. Owner Guy Jones founded the shop in 1983, after a background with environmental organizations that included promoting canoe trips on the Saluda River.
"I feel very fortunate to have experienced 40 years of developing and operating a small business that many people seem to really appreciate," said Guy. "What I enjoy the most is sharing a passion for experiencing beautiful natural areas through paddling a kayak or canoe. Cedar Creek in Congaree National Park is my favorite place to paddle. There is magic in the dark waters slowly flowing under huge trees - the cypress and tupelo canopy just pulls you into a different world."
