Recommended Paddle Locations:

There are several great paddling locations near our shop. These areas are best enjoyed during the early morning or late afternoon when winds are typically lighter.

If you are paddling in the afternoon, we recommend visiting calmer nearby lakes such as Alice Lake, Brohm Lake, or Cat Lake. You may also enjoy paddling within the Blind Channel, where the waters are generally more sheltered from the wind.

We offer inflatable SUPs, tandem kayaks, foam roof racks, and straps to help transport your equipment.

Post-Rental Gear Cleaning:

After returning, please clean all equipment by using the provided wash bins, rinsing thoroughly, and hanging gear to dry.
