We had a great experience with Blue Ridge Outfitters. Kim and her family were friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. I texted her the day before on Fourth of July weekend expecting they might be booked, but she said it was no problem and set us up with a canoe and a paddleboard. The whole process was simple. We showed up, signed the paperwork, picked out our boats, and they loaded everything into our truck. Then we followed them about five minutes to the reservoir, where they got us launched. There was no rush--they told us to stay out as long as we wanted and text them when we were finished so they could pick up the boats. We even broke a paddle completely our fault, and they were very understanding about it. The reservoir was gorgeous: mountain views, deep clean water perfect for swimming, and lots of little islands and quiet inlets where we could stop and have our own space. Even on a busy holiday weekend, it never felt crowded. There were a few powerboats, but the reservoir is so large that they weren't an issue. As tourists, we never would have found this spot on our own, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. read more

We rented kayaks on a beautiful Saturday in September and Blue Ridge Outfitters made everything easy! From start to finish Kim provided what we needed and made sure we were taken care of. The free ice cream was an added plus! I absolutely will be renting from Blue Ridge again! read more

Kim was easy to work with, friendly and fun. Her sweet little cat Sammy made our visit for the life jacket fitting even better! Easy to find the location and the fee for delivery to the Chittenden Dam was worth the money! Could have asked for an easier transaction and better service! Thank you Kim! read more

A group of friends and I visited Plymouth in mid-October and were planning to rent some canoes. Unbeknownst to me, my partner was planning to propose to me on one of the canoes! Kim was so great, planned for us to get the white canoe, and kept the secret so well. We had a fabulous time out on the water in the canoes, in part because of the engagement, but also because the service itself was great. Overall, we highly recommend Blue Ridge Outfitters -- Kim was great at communicating, the pick-up and drop-off were seamless (so thankful that she's able to deliver!), and we had an amazing time out on the canoes. read more
