We had a great time. The service was great and friendly! Only thing was the seat was broken or about to break but nothing major!
We had a great time kayaking on the river Sunday afternoon with our granddaughter. Thanks to the WSU rowers who work there and kindly helped us in and out of the kayaks! It is a lovely way to view The Keeper of the Plains.
We went for the first time this past Friday and it was an absolute blast. We will definitely be buying a family season pass next summer. They allowed us to make a reservation for outside of regular business hours. They were very helpful, knowledgeable and just very kind people. We asked a bit about the business and we were told that the revenue generated from Boats & Bikes goes right back into the WSU row team. It's a great time and it supports a great cause!
Nice place to rent kayaks (and much more) from to go kayaking along the Arkansas River to the Keeper of the Plains. A round trip at a moderate pace from the dock to the statue is about 40 minutes. Will be renting from here again.
Had a great time! We were able to book a reservation like 30 min before we decided to go kayaking, and on the 4th of July! Single person kayaks were $20 each for an hour, and they personally put the boat in the water for u. It was easy and fun. They also had paddleboats.
