Great staff, first time with the SUPs and would do again, just on a calmer day, that little lake gets windy! Great to have options when and where you want to stop, nice flexibility. Thank you.

Great way to spend a day in town getting some exercise while also having fun! We started with a bike around the lake, stopping at the Filling Station and Right Brain Brewery for a beer and a snack. This left plenty of time for a paddle out along the shore, where we saw mink, loons, turtles and of course plenty of geese and swans. I was born and raised in TC and would recommend this for anyone, both locals and visitors. Staff was friendly, efficient and the equipment was in fine condition. Thank you!

A lot of fun! Definitely recommend stopping at the park across the lake and going under the bridge afterwards. A beautiful afternoon and a great price!

The people were very sweet, informative, and quick to help. Beyond that the equipment was in wonderful shape and there was a ton of it for us to use. All in all I REALLY recommend this place because of the service and the fact that this particular location is STUNNING.

Was one of the best "excursions" we've ever done! The self guided part was great as we were able to go at our own pace> A great way to spend a beautiful day in TC. Would highly recommend!

The staff at the Logan Landing base was absolutely the nicest, knowledgeable group. Amara was so easy to work with. We loved the open kayak, and made it to Delamar in plenty of time, so we went back up the river to Hull Park. When we got back to Hull Park we called and the woman that picked us up was there in a flash and was super strong (picked that Kayak up like it was a feather) and easy to talk with on the way back. I have used you before and I will use you again. It was well worth the money.

It was a beautiful day for kayaking on the lake! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Due to the bridges being out for construction, we were unable to kayak down the river into the bay so that was a bit disappointing but we still had a great time!

My coworkers and I (and our rescue pup) enjoyed a relaxing trip on the water while in Traverse City. We had a few SUPers and some who preferred kayaks, so it was nice to have the option to choose either and still enjoy the time together. The River Outfitters staff were friendly and helpful, the equipment was new, clean and well-maintained, and the location was easy to get to and offered plenty of free parking. A truly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon!

Fun family time. They were accomodating with last minute participation counts and time changes. Nice people! The course was a little boring, but probably helpful as there was no guide. You definitely get wet in the kayaks.
