Even though they had not officially opened for the year, he went out of his way to make sure we had a kayak to go out with and enjoy the good weather. We called him mid-morning and he met us with a high quality Kayak only a few hours later! His communication was great & they made everything easy - within 15 minutes of arriving at the dock we were out on the water. We love to Kayak, so we have been to a number of different "big-box" corporations in the area, and Hammerhead Watersports has the family-owned feel of a local business that we like supporting. If you are looking for a great price, quality equipment, and to support family-owned local business - look no further!

I've dealt with this company three times, and while I had a decent time once, was left tremendously…read moredisappointed twice. Last summer, Fiancé and I got placed in sit-in kayaks for the first time. Less than a mile down the river, he complains that he's really uncomfortable, and isn't sure what to do with his feet. Turns out they set him off on a 6-mile trip with NO FOOTRESTS inside the kayak. So Fiancé's excursion ended with a lot of lower back pain. This summer, I went online and reserved an 11-mile trip at 10:00 on a Sunday, three weeks in advance. They called to confirm that I was squared away. Then when I showed up at 9:55, I was told they weren't opening until 11 that morning. When I said I had a 10:00 reservation for the 11-mile trip, they said they hadn't been doing the long trips all week. They didn't have any of my information available, or lost it, so instead of a phone to call give me a heads up, I find this out after driving 35 minutes to the livery. Until they can fix their equipment and have a better booking system in place, I'm done with this company. Our bodies and our time are far too valuable to risk any more mishaps.

I have done a tube float from Murrays down the Hocking River twice now. Both times I had a lot of…read morefun on the water! However, there have been some giant trees in the water that I always seem to get caught on. I think if they are offering a service like a tube float they should attempt to clean up some of the sharp debri that is in the river. Murray's does seem to have a good number of floats to rent if you don't want to bring your own. They also offer floating coolers to rent. Murrays now requires 1 person to make a reservation for a group and to pay upfront. This does make it a bit of a headache when you have a large group but I suppose it's understandable in covid times. When you arrive they blow up your float for you and then transport you and your float upstream to drift back to the starting point. Once at the starting point they just drop you off and leave you to figure out how to group up and float down the river together. Some advice or help would be nice but so far my whole group has made it back in one piece lol.

Parking: This location has plenty of parking lots…read moresurrounding the lake. Easy to access and seem moderately safe. I have never had an issue finding a spot. 5 stars. Water: I've never gotten in the water, so I can't judge this.. not a fan of lake water. Dam: Cool place to come for an easy outdoor walk to unwind and relax or to workout (many people run the steps up and down the dam). Everything here is free. Other: There is a frisbee golf course that people were actively using while I was there. There is a lot of easy hiking trails and scenery to enjoy. Conclusion: This is a good place to come with a family or friends. Get outside and have a picnic, go fishing, boating, take a hike, or play frisbee golf. It does get cold here in fall/winter as the wind comes off the lake, so wear a coat. I'm tired of the cold, debating running away to Mexico.

When I initially walked in the young man who was helping us just grabbed his bike before I could even say what was wrong and began working on it and in no time flat, the bike was fixed.

All of the sales associates that helped me throughout the whole experience were patient, kind and explained everything to me and great detail, which was helpful because I am a new rider. I should also mention that I shopped around quite a bit and no experience matched the one I had with the folks from Paradise Garage.

The customer service, knowledge and patience I received from Emily, Dan and Will was unparalleled. I purchased a Surly Karate Monkey hardtail, which was my first mountain bike. I had done considerable research, but many questions remained. Sizing was my first concern. Emily brought out her own Karate Monkey, which confirmed the correct size for me; and because I had decided to upgrade the tires, Dan and Will spent considerable time helping me choose which tires would be best for both front and rear. Once the bike arrived, Dan assured a proper fit. He also made certain my compression front fork was adjusted properly and that I understood how to experiment with various settings to maximize its benefit. The folks at Paradise Garage make the experience of buying a new bicycle comfortable, enlightening and fun, as it should be.
