You can make your reservation and pay online to speed up the process. There's a parking lot, although parking can get full quickly.

Fortunately, I have experience kayaking and didn't need instruction, but something to consider if you've not done this before.

Extremely well-maintained and clean. This time one of my guests (I won't name names) lowered one of the boat's anchors, and it came untied.

Will definitely rent from Beachside again!

They were flexible in working with us to put together a trip that fit our time constraints. They were even good enough to schedule picture-perfect weather for our day although I'm not sure how they did that. They were all set when we arrived, gave a quick safety talk, and took a group picture before we headed onto the water. The guides were great with those in our group that were apprehensive about kayaking while giving our experienced paddlers the freedom to fully enjoy the river while still making sure the young people were in safe water. Our experienced paddlers were the ones who set the pace for our trip with the guides pointing out things of interest on the shoreline (or the eagles that popped up several times overhead). With the speed of the river that day (it does vary) and the amount of paddling we did, we arrived at our take-out point at just the right time where I bus awaited us. The pictures FRKC posted on Facebook of our trip were also a really nice touch. I'm looking forward to booking with them again.

Smaller and more technical than the nearby Wisconsin River. PLUS! There's some killer breweries, tacos, cocktail bars, & a live music venue to welcome you back once you're off the river. 100% would recommend and will most certainly use Sugar River Outfitters again.

I wanted to try Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) for about forever…read more The concierge at the Abbey gave me a coupon for a discount rental at nearby Fontana Paddle so I decided to finally give it a go. It was an excellent decision. Rates are reasonable. They fit you with a flotation vest, changing rooms are available and they have small lockers. You do not want to have your smartphone on you in the event you fall in the water on the lake. It is better to lock it up, IMO. The training overview was pretty detailed and there is a lot to remember and coordinate all at once. I liken it to riding a bike or driving a car. Once you learn it, you'll always have it and it becomes normal/natural, until then, you have to remember to switch hands, stay balanced, etc. I did go out too far from where they told me to stay, but that was unplanned. A little wind and then a boat sent me even further out which resulted in my instructor dude coming out on board to see if I was okay and if I could get back in on my own. Embarrassing, but also super cool because he gave me some on water tips that I somehow already had forgotten. Also, the further out you go, the more the wind affects you and there are more boats, so you can expend more energy on balancing rather than paddling enjoyably along. Once my guy knew I was okay and headed more in the right direction he went back and I went on to a very enjoyable experience. Prices are good. Staff is helpful. Get out early on summer weekends, too many boats on the lake will not make for a good SUP experience.
