Very Late Summer Fun.
The rainfall from this past weekend pushed the Susquehanna River up a bit from the Summer lows and we are now enjoying the wide open navigation that a little more water provides. All of the usual characters (Herons, Egrets, Osprey, and Eagles) are still hanging around. The migratory birds that travel through our area will be doing so soon. We get two groups of travelers: the waterfoul on the river and the hawks bridging the mountain watergaps. Schedule a river float trip with us and enjoy the Susquehanna -- there is a lot to see out there!

Esquif Twin-Tex® Repair

West System G/flex® Epoxy - repair polyethylene canoes and kayaks.
About our Retail Store:

·   We specialize as a full service paddlesports store.  We stock canoes, kayaks and paddling accessories. We also stock some support camping, repair and outfitting, and rescue supplies.
·   We're not an "On-line" store nor are we trying to be one.  We're a brick and mortar business and being in an old train station, our bricks are thick. 
·   We aren't a sports department store with big open spaces, in fact, visiting our store is a lot like spelunking; it's crowded and you can find the neatest things hiding in the crevices or suspended from the ceiling.  Plan on taking some time to explore the largest paddle gear and accessory inventory in the area.
