Kayak the Menomonee River in Milwaukee - 2 Hour Rental

Our Twisted Fisherman location is located on the Menomonee River, downtown Milwaukee in the Menomonee Valley. It's a 30 minute paddle from our main location and a 45 minute paddle from our Schlitz Park location. The Menomonee River is nice and calm and has less boat traffic than the Milwaukee River.

We offer 2 and 4 hour rentals from all of our locations. For this 2 hour rental, some paddlers stay out for an hour, some stay out for 2 hours – it’s all up to you. Two hour rentals are perfect for a nice kayak outing. If you plan on stopping along the way at one of the public docks for lunch or a beverage, you may want to consider a 4 hour rental, which will provide a bit more time to enjoy your day and not rush back.

All rentals includes a kayak, paddle, life jacket and brief paddle lesson. We have a limited supply of dry bags you can borrow.
