Foote Brothers Canoe & Kayak Rental has operated as a family-run business on the Ipswich River for three generations, offering canoe, kayak, and SUP rentals with dedicated shuttle service to multiple river sections. Day trips range from the beginner-friendly Willowdale Run starting at Willowdale Dam to the popular four-hour Salem Run through the wildlife sanctuary and Wenham Wetlands, and the longer six-to-seven-hour Thunder Bridge Run from Middleton past farmlands and state parks. All rentals include paddles, life jackets, and river maps. The business also offers overnight camping trips to Colt Island, a boat-access island within the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary located two hours upstream, with primitive camping and no facilities. Guests must pack in all supplies and pack out all waste.
