Head into quiet back bays, follow winding shoreline, or cross open water under your own power. Canoes for groups and gear, kayaks for solo paddlers or couples. Both are great for first-timers and seasoned paddlers who want time on the water at their own pace.
The calm water and sheltered bays on Lake Nipissing are built for stand-up paddleboarding. Great for fitness, sightseeing, or just standing on the water watching the sun come up. First timers pick it up fast.
For a full day of fishing or a longer cruise, our 16-foot fishing boats cover more water and carry more gear. Head out on your own with a self-guided rental, or add a guided option and let a local captain put you on the fish.
Every rental works both ways. Take the keys and do your own thing, or add a guide who knows the water and can match the route to your group.
For people who already know what they want out of a day on the water. Pick up the rental, grab the gear, and head out. Free to move at your own pace, stop where you want, and come back when you are ready.
Prefer to have someone pick the route, handle the navigation, and put you in the best spots? Add a guided option to any rental. Great for first-time visitors or anyone who wants a guaranteed good day.
