“Took a basic kayaking lesson through Rocktown Adventures at Rock Cut State Park in 2021. I was afraid I would fail because I have no upper body strength and had zero clue about how to kayak. The lesson was fantastic. They walked through everything on shore before we even got in the kayaks. Once we got on the water, they patiently encouraged and guided each of us until we could paddle and maneuver confidently. I now love kayaking and have my own equipment. We still go with Rocktown Adventures on a few outings each year to explore new rivers because of their expertise and their commitment to safety.”

“Recently bought a kayak and accessories here and they were able to match us up with the right kayak for our needs! Took over an hour with us going over different options, pros and cons, making sure we truly were happy with what we got. It’s a perfect fit!”

“A big variety of products for a small shop, but amazing product lines too. Kevin is a good guy and very friendly. Good ‘A-quality’ stuff that he uses himself. Love the fact that he can speak for his products, along with their capabilities!”

“We recently did the Women on the Water guided tour and it was EXACTLY what this new mama needed! It was the perfect combination of exciting and relaxing. Our guide, Travis, was as friendly and helpful as he was knowledgeable. I was nervous to go out on the Rock River since I was so custom to kayaking on calm lakes, but I am so glad that we did! The water/current was much calmer than I expected. It was just enough to give us a little help paddling downstream. The Rocktown crew not only loads everything up for you (even if you bring your own equipment), but they also transfer you and unload you when finished. The prices are very fair and affordable. The staff was truly great! I would highly recommend this unique and special way to see our beautiful city!”

“Travis spent several hours explaining and then installing a kayak rack on my Subaru. His knowledge and service was exemplary. Other staff who stopped in were amazingly personable and wanted to make sure everything was as you wanted. There are also ongoing activities sponsored by the business and I hope to take advantage of them. I know they will make me feel welcome and part of ‘the family.'”

“Over Summer, I bought a kayak and roof rack from Rocktown Adventures. I received EXCELLENT service and advice from all of their staff! I particularly enjoyed being able to paddle several different kayaks before choosing one. I also enjoy Rocktown Adventures’ paddlesports lessons and events. Their Kayak Safety & Rescue class is excellent, as well as their 2 River Paddles – lots of fun!”
