Had a great time kayaking with my Dad!…read more We did the Friday fireworks tour, which ends with watching the fireworks from the Bisons game. You start from the kayak launch across from silo city, paddle down to Canalside and then come back. There are two guides, one talking about the history of the area and another just to make sure the group is safe and accounted for. There are also sunset/twilight tours without fireworks which would be just as fun...I think I would have enjoyed spending more time paddling around Canalside and catching some of the music from the concert that was going on instead of the fireworks, but the tour was as advertised, so I am not going to fault them for that. Things to know before you go: -plenty of parking in this area as long as some huge event isn't going on -there is a small door along the road with a sign but the main entrance is actually inside the main Barrel Factory. -there is a bathroom to change, but there are no lockers for your things (at least I think), so you have to leave items in your car, so don't leave anything too valuable. -The kayak launch is dry, but I still got a bit wet from the water dripping off the paddle. The water made my clothes and drawstring bag I brought smell a bit funky so definitely only wear/bring items you can wash. My recommendations: -I really think the guided tours are best for people new to the area or new to kayaking. There really isn't anything TOO interesting history wise along the waterfront since a lot of it is new development (or abandoned) and most people in town have been to Riverworks and Canalside before. That said, it's still a great place to go kayaking and you can rent kayaks here without the guided tour if you are comfortable. They have good quality rentals with nice comfy seats. -Gene MaCarthys is practically right next door. What better way to reward all that paddling than with a nice cold beer?

They have both open single and tandem rentals and you probably do t want longer than 2 hours. The paddle is mostly upstream and not my desire when kayaking. 1.5 paddle up and .5 back. Kind of difficult to stay near the edge when the wake from boats causes sideways waves. The boat didn't have much tracking, but it got us to a huge rookery of. Cormorants. Lots of birds active along the waterway and beautiful homes and marinas. Views of USA and Canada for miles. I think the price for a two hour tandem kayak was 100$ in US It was worth the exercise and beauty.

This business used to be called Niagara Kayak Rentals but it is under new ownership and they are…read morenow known as Kayaking Niagara. We found their website during a recent stay in the area and booked a 2PM trip from Queenston Heights, which would take us down the river to Niagara-on-the-Lake. We were told that the trip would take 2-3 hours with moderate effort, and we clocked in at 2hrs 20 mins. Registering and paying couldn't have been easier. Just go onto the Kayaking Niagara site and fill out a few forms. We were met at 2PM by Matteo at the Queen's Royal Park gazebo, which would also be the ending point of the excursion. We loaded into the Kayaking Niagara van shortly afterwards and were driven to the put-in spot 5-6 miles away. During the van ride, Matteo pointed out areas of interest and told us about the area. He was great. When we arrived, he provided our kayak, oars, and life vests; and gave advice on how best to navigate the waterway (e.g. paddling is more difficult close to shore, stay on the Canadian side of the river, etc.). Then he pushed our boats into the water and away we went. The kayaks were sturdy, handled well, and had a waterproof compartment for storage. Since it was both Canada Day and 4th of July weekend, the river was very busy with speedboats and jet skis on both sides of the border, making the water very choppy and harder to paddle through. But it was very pretty and we enjoyed seeing the vegetation and large houses dotting the shoreline. At the end of the trip, we navigated our kayaks back into Queen's Royal Park (across from Fort Niagara) and walked through the Artistry at the Lake tents back to our car. A few thoughts. My wife and I are experienced kayakers but this was a bit more challenging than we anticipated. I chalk this up to the boat traffic on the busy holiday weekend. There were some cool things to see, including the sailboats at Smugglers Cove and the waterfront houses in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Kayaking Niagara also does not set a time limit for patrons to be on the water. This means that if you want to keep paddling after you reach the end point, you are more than welcome to stay on the water. There are other options as well so check their website for details. I'd definitely do this again.

I had my own personal tour guide, Henrik. He did a great job telling some historical facts and stories about the area. I grew up in rural Niagara County, and he had some stories I had never heard before. Henrik was an excellent guide. The views were amazing. It was so peaceful out on the river. I fell in love with kayaking after that tour. I highly recommend booking a tour through Niagara Outfitters.

They have to be hauled. They have to be driven down to the water's edge. And they have... to be... f***ing... launched... you heathens. (Deep breath) I don't often boat, but when I do I use this kayak launch. I don't actually have a boat but I am occasionally invited to go boating, and this is one of the better launches that I've had to load and unwilling boats at. Partly because it's usually not so busy like some of the others are. There's one in Rochester where I've experienced hour long wait times so I'm grateful that this one is a lot more user-friendly, and also in a really pretty area hidden around the back of Niagara Falls Boulevard.
