I believe that combination of tranquility, natural beauty, and the chance to escape from the daily grind is what has drawn so many people to paddling and our business.” We’re fortunate to have such beautiful surroundings and abundant wildlife that allow us to truly connect with nature and leave the stresses of everyday life behind.

And, you know, the pandemic played a significant role in that,” Purnell explained. “It’s been incredible to witness the growing popularity of paddling, especially kayaking, since we opened in 2014. Dragonfly Outdoor Adventures is capitalizing on these trends and claim business is good.

Scioto County, and the region as a whole, has been expanding on outdoor recreation, especially paddling activities. It’s an opportunity for individuals and families to come together, celebrate, and create lasting memories.”

Our goal is to encourage people to reconnect with nature and prioritize their well-being,” Kelsey Purnell said.
