    Rented 3 kayaks from Adventures by True North AK to use at the AirBnb we are staying at with family. Heather made booking easy and Derek made delivery easy by unloading the kayaks and pulling them out by the pond! Loved the price, as well (even included life vests). These rentals made our stay so much more fun! Can't wait to try a few of their paddle adventures this summer! Edited to add: I did a family paddle on Cottonwood Lake and a Paddle and Paddle & Paint on Meier Lake with Adventures with True North and they were SUCH FUN! Danika and Heather are great guides and we had so much fun! The kayak and SUP rentals are both fabulous.
