Susquehanna Kayak & Canoe Rentals invites guests to experience Northeast Pennsylvania’s waterways at an easygoing pace. Founded by local river enthusiast Art Coolbaugh in 2007, this trusted outfitter offers kayak and canoe rentals...
Art and his crew have built something genuinely special along the Susquehanna. Reviewers consistently praise the personalized attention, with Art and team members like Tim going out of their way to make sure first-timers feel comfortable and confident on the water. One reviewer noted how a staff member gently coaxed a nervous child onto a kayak without any prompting, which says a lot about the culture here. Beyond basic rentals, they offer creative experiences like the "Yak & Snack" guided tours, multi-day river trips, and shuttle services, making them a solid option for a wide range of skill levels and adventure appetites. Online booking is straightforward, with detailed instructions provided upfront. Several reviewers mention returning year after year, which is probably the strongest endorsement this kind of outfitter can get.
We had a wonderful experience renting kayaks yesterday. The staff were fantastic and the boats were in good shape.
