Canoe and Kayak Rentals
We provide canoe and kayak rentals and shuttles on the Susquehanna River and nearby tributaries. Explore the National Natural Landmark of the five water gaps that cut through the mountains along the middle section of the Susquehanna River Water Trail. We try to accomodate all types of paddlers so our rental fleet includes sit-in and sit-on-top single or two-person kayaks as well as solo or tandem canoes.
