LIV Outside is a great place to rent canoes and kayaks from and they are located on the most beautiful section of the river and will put the boats right in for you, all you have to do is pack water and a lunch. Ask them to point you in the direction of the waterfalls (don't worry you will end up at the bottom of a gorgeous waterfall not the top!) It takes about 1.5hrs to paddle to the falls where you can pull off on the shore to have a picnic or just float and eat in your boat.
