Nice equipment, good price, easy to pick up. Escorted right to the departure location. Quick pickup after our paddle. Eric was super nice and gave us some great recommendations for local places to check out. We’ll definitely rent kayaks there again this year.

Had a blast labor day weekend, we got our canoes right away and we were shuttled to the launch site quickly. The amount of people in the van did not bug us even with covid, seeing as though they are trying to run as many people as they can in one trip. When we got to the end a van was already waiting so we didn't need to call. For us it was an enjoyable trip.
If your looking for fun adventure near the twin cities at an affordable price give Eric and his crew a call. They always have canoes and kayaks available at a great price. St Croix Falls and Taylor's Falls are very beautiful to explore from the river. Highly recommended.
Called ahead to make sure my 2 gal pals & I would have kayaks available \around the noon hour\ on a Sat., & was told it wasn't going to be a problem. Got to Eric's & was informed that \we were late\ & would need to wait 20 mins. until the driver came back. In the mean time we went to make our credit card payments which seemed to be an inconvenience to him that we all paid separately with credit cards. Gosh sorry!! He then said that he would wait for my friend to come back from using the bathroom so he wouldn't have to repeat the \pick up\ instructions a million times. I guess 2 grown women aren't able to retain information such as that, (and pass it on to our friend) even though I had mentioned to him I had rented from him last summer 2 times. At the end of our day he came for our pick up & asked that we help grab paddles. Sorry, maybe we would have helped if he had not been so RUDE to us at the start of it all. I also thought the 30 covered the rental, NOT the schlepping of the equipment too. It is people like us who love the outdoors & support small business owners such as Eric's. We won't be back to use him anymore, but I got the impression that he really could care less. The van should either be replaced or repaired since the annoying driver seat belt kept dinging, even though it was engaged causing him to curse in front of us passengers until it finally stopped. Not cool :( :(
This was such a beautiful experience, particularly during such an intense time. It was the perfect escape into nature to reconnect with my friend. Eric was uber helpful and even let us change the dates last minute due to weather. He was kind and informative about the adventure, and while we are avid campers, he still took the time to make sure we understood the map, river, canoe, campsites, procedures, etc. It was an epic 2 night trip, as we chose to do the 10 mile, which was perfect for our first time out this year. We will be back to use his services all summer and more than look forward to working with him again to utilize his services. Lastly, we ran into a slight emergency where our keys were misplaced and thus were seemingly trapped on our paddle back. Upon arrival we saw him at the site helping another couple and he took the time to help us out, as we would have been stranded with no phones for hours otherwise. He went out of his way to make sure we safely got a ride to one of our cars in order to get our keys so we could pack up and head home after a spectacular adventure. We highly recommend the overnight trips over the day trips. Our campsite was private, gorgeous and felt like we were in a fairyland. We also jumped in the water for the first time this year! It was secluded so we could have quiet and privacy and Eric was available every time we had a question or concern. Highly recommended!! Get out there and get your adventure on!
