“We had the best time! Such a pretty area with lots to explore. I’m with other reviewers—book longer than you think. We did 2 hours and should have planned a full day! It’s fun!”
— Bailey P.
“We rented a kayak last Saturday and had a wonderful time on Norris Lake. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend.”
— Nic F.
“We rented a single kayak and SUP to supplement our own SUPs and had a blast as a party of four! An hour and a half flew by as we explored the nearby coves. Very reasonable prices, great service, and beautiful area. We’ll just have to rent them for longer next time!”
— Liz A.
