Best Canoe & Kayak Store Warren Near Me

Ryan Stafford: Don't consider this place if you're interested in a Kayak less than $700. They will not treat you very nicely.

Jason Boechler: I know the owners personally.... they are great and amazing people.... they are there to help you with all the boating needs lifts hoists.... call them and have the best of the best help you out today!

udo deschl: I am not sure what just happened. I just called to buy two kayaks.The gentleman on the other side started talking about me wasting my money and if I want to send a $100 and wast it. Maybe he is not a fan of the store. I guess I need to find an other place

Jferg4350: Can’t say enough about this place. Bought a kayak and paddle from them. Extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Great prices with A++ service. Walter and Kris were both amazing. I even got a thank you card in the mail a few weeks after purchasing. Rare find these days. Will be doing business with them in the future and will be recommending everyone I know to them as well!

Mark Makovic: Fantastic family business. I highly recommend stopping in!!

I Grettenberger: Pretty cool

Yahya Nasersharifi: Overall good experience, I had a hard time finding the place but it was okay. Price was reasonable.

Daniel Martinez Martinez: I did some reservations for the day, showed up and no one to be seen. Time wasted that I cannot get back. I came all the way from Wisconsin just for this.

Anthony Lake: This place in my book is A FREAKING 1 i had a trip planned it was cancelled due to highvwater no biggie they offered me rwfund or rescedule i chose to rescedule thennn i missed the trip due to family emergency they were not required to refund or rescedule anything for me being that i didnt even call.

Ladonna Cuevas: Everyone was friendly and super helpful. They are awesome!! Pricing us great as well.

Ashlee Sowinski: The two younger women who work at the beach hut at metro beach were insanely rude. Me and my bf wanted to rent kayaks. We paid for them and waited patiently for them. I rented from metro before And they use to bring the kayaks down directly to the beach. After a few minutes of waiting, I asked where to meet them at. The first girl said, with an attitude said, “at the boat launch”. I needed more directions not knowing where it was. The other girl chimed and also repeated, at the boat launch. The girls kept saying things like “over there” and “by the exit” but was very short with us and unhelpful. We eventually figured it out on our own. The staff at the boat launch was kind and nice. But you actually have to drive to entire different area of the park. The beach girls seemed more interested in playing on their phones than helping out paying customers.

Nevirose DeB: We called for stand up paddleboard instruction on Sunday, and was able to get in that same day. I was really surprised because it was Memorial Day weekend, but Jeremy was able to accommodate. He read our needs perfectly and balanced the instruction and freedom necessary for all of my kids, aged 7-17. Thanks, we had a perfect afternoon!

AMP BEACH VOLLEYBALL: I just rented bikes with my friend at Metro from this company. They had a tandem bike. We took a small lap with it to see if we wanted to rent. It was fun, but maybe I'll be more adventurous another day! We just rented our own bikes and rode along the board walk and around the point. It was a bit tricky finding where to go.. the second exit on the round about is to the beach shop, where the bikes are stationed... right when you pull into the park past the gate there is a quick left to go to the North/Main boat launch. The kayaks and boards are there. If you are looking for something to do with friends, go to a sunset paddle. It is beautiful in the marsh.Thank you to Grace and Mikayla! Such friendly staff members.

Andrea Mudd: Loved it. The directions were tricky and I had to call to find out where they are, but everyone was extremely helpful. When I got there Scott was super nice !! I will be going back quite often ! Thanks Guys !

Shane Capser: Amazing customer service!

Ashley Neblett: This was the only place in a 50 mile radius that had the kayak i wanted! Definitely a great selection! The owner is incredibly kind and extremely helpful!!

Hillary Parsons: Laura was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful! Thank you!

james h.: Lady was not nice she was very rude to me till she realized i was a previous paying customer

Paige Koziol: The absolute BEST place for paddlers. Expert advice. Super personable. I will always look to Riverside for all of my paddling needs. Laura rocks!

Corey G: After doing a kayak tour from a different company we went in to just look at kayaks to figure out what we'd like to get for ourselves. Staff was friendly, funny, and best of all, no B. S.! Zero sales pressure and we ended up buying two kayaks on the spot. We weren't kayak newbies but not seasoned veterans either. If you are considering a kayak purchase I would highly recommend Riverside Kayak Connection.

Mi White Pitbulls: Couldn't help me with what I was looking for, but it's a nice place and would recommend it.

James Whipple: Helpful, friendly staff

Jason: Called last minute for a lesson and a paddle. Tiffany and Quinn took care of everything, even changing their regular dock to accommodate me. Impressive.

Brian Soltis: Great store, great kayaks, great owners and staff. Love shopping there.

Art cabrera: Called RKC and inquired about used kayaks then drove there,ended up with a great deal on a used plastic valley sea kayak,for a specialty shop I was very surprised how humble and helpful the staff owner was,great experience would recommend and return to RWC ty very much

mary gallagher: Very knowledgeable owners and staff. Involved in the community. Great selection to choose from..

Anibal Ortega: Very nice people and great place for everything you need for your Kayak...

Dean Hellerud: The staff is awesome they have a great working knowledge of the equipment as well as the area. This is a place to get a real rig at a good price. They have new and lightly use gear that surpasses everyone in mi. If you don't see it they can order it. While you may not find that $ 200 rug here you will be very happy with what you get. They also have a large selection of composite rigs that are hard to find. They have a huge lot of gear lights, packs, dry bags racks and more. The floating sun glasses are awesome.

Steven Landers: Laura was a excellent help with helping us pick out a kayak for my roommate. Wonderful shop. For the given situation they had a excellent selection of kayaks at great prices

Jenny Craft: Awesome customer service! Tiffany and Laura were very helpful with finding the perfect roof rack to fit our car. They are very knowledgeable and very friendly!

John Tatro: This is a special places all paddlers so visit.

David Booth: If you want or need a kayak this is the place to get a custom make kayak. They have classes and let you kayak in their kayaks to what type is best for you. Try the kayak around Belle Isle, they have a rental place on Belle Isle. Remember cheap is cheap and better is safe. These people also work with the Coast Guard Auxiliary and safety paperwork.

Erik Geist: Very informative

Tammy Marcoux (tmarcwho): I can't say enough good about this place! EVERYONE is wonderful and so knowledgeable as well as helpful. Their goal is to meet your needs and they accomplished that! It took me almost an hour to get to the facility but it was so worth it! Thank you to Laura, Jacob, Ethan (and there was one more young man that helped Jacob install my kayak rack, I cant remember his name but thank you also! I am so happy I found you and I have told everyone about the great service.

Robert Not Bob: Try it

Sierra Barber: Beautiful experience on the paddle boats!

Rose Kaplan: The water is full of seaweed making it hard to paddle.

Kalyse E: Staff was friendly. Super easy process. Reasonable rates. We will be back. New or like new equipment. Paddle boats and bike buggies have optional umbrella tops to protect you from the Detroit summer sun. A great value at a beautiful location.

James Finley: Worst experience ever. Kayak was dirty filled with mud, couldn’t kayak under the bridges, water level too high and I am too tall. Also, water was very dirty.

Collin Gillam: Awesome.

Kayla Moser: Great prices, friendly staff.

Martin Solina: Nice place

Susan Angel: Fun thing to do inexpensively on Belle Isle!

Jennifer Perry: Friendly and helpful staff, love to rent kayaks and boards while spending time with my family on Belle Isle, now they are opening the giant slide. Highly recommend renting while visiting!

Laura Sabucco: Friendly people, love the nature, avoid trees with birds when kayaking, don't want them to poo on you. Had a blast.

Gary G: We rented a pedal pontoon, and really enjoyed our time. The weather was perfect and the staff was friendly - thanks for being apart of making Belle Isle beautiful, and FUN! 👍🏻

Hollie Elizabeth: So much fun! Great price. We found a wallet in the water on Sunday July 8th and turned it in to office. Excited to hear the big slide will open back up soon. Love Belle Isle.

Alicia Purser: The staff is so friendly and helpful.

Marquise Carter: It was a great experience i enjoyed the scenery

Saad Rehman: Tiffany and her team did a great job supporting our large group of 9th grade students. They were patient and made sure everyone was prepared and safe! We had a wonderful time kayaking and it was a greatly memorable experience for our students. A number of my students remarked that it was the best field trip they ever had! The RKC Adventures team accommodated our group when a lot of other places were closed (and they did all this when the Belle Isle Grand Prix preparation prevented access to their usual location). Thanks again RKC Adventures!

Stephen Conn: The Kayaks seats give you almost zero back support, which makes the whole experience very uncomfortable at best. I had just rented a kayak at a state park a few days ago that had plenty of back support and it was a lot of fun.

Al Al: I've been to Belle Isle many times since the state has taken over the park. There are many improvements and the bike/boat rental is one they needed. I know the canel's aren't yet as clear as they should be, but I'm sure this will improve as time goes on. This is now a place I feel safe going to. The bike path around the island is wonderful.

Mary Brown: We had a great experience on Belle Isle. The prices are good for a family and all of the staff was very friendly. The island is getting better every day since the State took over. Hope to be back more often.The rentals were busy in the afternoon, the employees said it is much slower earlier in the day. Looking forward to a nice fall paddle when the leaves change.

George Patsarikas: I would not recommend renting a kayak with RKC Adventures.Notwithstanding the fact that the canal and surrounding riverbed were not the most aesthetically pleasing (e.g., abandoned buildings, deteriorated basketball courts, murky water, etc.), the staff response to a legitimate concern regarding the accessibility of the canal merits the one-star rating.Specifically, we felt that downed logs in the canal made it extremely difficult and/or impossible to kayak through the canal into the lake. When we returned to the departure point and expressed our concerns, the staff did not attempt to seriously address the issue. Instead, the staff sarcastically and condescendingly responded, in more or less words, to deal with the logs. I think the staff could and should have responded to my questions differently and in a polite manner.If you are looking for an enjoyable kayaking experience, please go somewhere else.
