Paddle Rentals at PaddleBreak Adventures in Sherwood, WI

Sherwood, Wisconsin offers a refreshing gateway to some of the region's finest small lakes, and PaddleBreak Adventures stands out as the go-to option for self-service kayak, paddleboard, and canoe rentals. Situated within this landscape of tranquil waters and gentle forests, PaddleBreak Adventures provides access across six distinct lakes: Erler Lake, Little Cedar Lake, Mauthe Lake, Friess Lake, Long Lake, and High Cliff State Park. Each lake presents its own character—whether it’s the quiet, private coves of Erler Lake or the more open and breezy waters of High Cliff State Park, framed by rugged limestone cliffs that rise sharply along the shoreline.

PaddleBreak Adventures has built a seamless self-serve model allowing paddlers to pick up their kayak, canoe, or paddleboard with minimal fuss and get on the water when they’re ready. This approach offers flexibility and freedom, catering both to families seeking relaxed afternoon outings and more seasoned paddlers interested in covering more ground or spotting local wildlife.

The lakes sit amid wooded areas with a mix of hardwood stands and marshy wetlands that attract an abundance of bird species, including great blue herons and kingfishers. Fishing enthusiasts may find quiet spots along shorelines rich with bass and panfish. Mauthe Lake and Friess Lake have a reputation for clean, often calm waters, perfect conditions for anyone looking to sharpen their paddling skills or simply unwind paddling.

High Cliff State Park adds scenic elevation and geological interest to the mix—the park’s cliffs are part of the Niagara Escarpment, a significant limestone formation stretching through the region. PaddleBreak Adventures ties into the local outdoor scene by providing direct water access where traditional rentals might be scarce or more structured, making it a standout for independent adventurers venturing through Sherwood and beyond.
