About

This solo kayak is an excellent choice early in the season, in cooler weather, or for those who simply enjoy a more traditional kayak.
We provide the kayak, paddle, life jacket and lock.
River trips - leave a vehicle at one of our end points of either Dundas or Northfield and travel to our start location on the river - The Cannon Valley Wilderness near Faribault.
Lake paddling - your kayak will be securely locked near the entrance to Union Lake. Return it to the same location when you are done for the day.
Pick up and go! Swing by our business location to pick up your kayak and gear for a day, two day or week long rental.

We are NOT transporting people this year. You must arrange a shuttle yourself.
