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.
Excellent solo trip on the river! Arthur was helpful, punctual, and friendly. He ensured I knew the exact pull off for my route so I could enjoy my paddle with confidence. He also had great recommendations for other local activities! This is a great local business throughout the region with great rentals and fun events throughout the seasons. Please support!
