History

Established in 2006.

Ron Ulrich is a 3^rd generation land owner and farmer of a little over 300 acres of land bordering the Meramec River, 50 miles east of St. Louis. Ron and I became close friends before I approached him to open the canoe rental business on the family acreage, due to the convenient location near St Louis and proximity to the river for floating. We opened the business in 2006 and named it after the road it was located off of. (Old Cove Road).
