    We came to the dock around 3pm on Bayview Drive via taxi to kayak however, nobody was present. No response on the phone. Kayak The Bay is advertised as being open until 6:00 PM. My friends and I waited for taxi in the hot sun without the experience

    Great party with fun people. Such a great experience, well worth the trip around the harbor to get there! Enjoy!

    We had the best time paddling down the river. It was super easy to make reservations over the phone…read morethe day before. The workers were knowledgeable and friendly, make sure you bring cash to tip. Our trip was during an overcast day with calm waters and it took us about two hours on the dot with a child and an adult in each kayak. Make sure you wear sunscreen, bring a bottle of water, and your sunglasses or a hat. I wore my bathing suit with a cotton dress on top, best idea ever (your butt gets pretty soaked) All in all, a great way to start the day. I'll be back to ride with the goats!!

    From the owner: The Portage River Paddling Company is your premier outdoor water recreation & adventure…read moredestination. We are family owned and operated. Our mission is to get families outdoors to spend quality time together and help them create memories that will last a lifetime! Come enjoy the scenic Portage River! Spend an hour or the day with us enjoying the eagles, heron, turtles, and other abundant wildlife! Take a trip down the river or rent by the hour from either of our locations. Pan for gem stones in Port Clinton or take a pedal boat out of Oak Harbor. We are located just minutes from downtown Port Clinton and in downtown Oak Harbor. Come solo or bring the whole family! With options for single kayaks, double kayaks, canoes, pedal boats (Oak Harbor only) and stand-up paddleboards we have something for everyone. Open daily from 10 am to 8 pm and sometimes later. Just stop in, message us on Facebook, or give us a call to make a reservation (not required).

    Jen and Mark were so friendly and flexible. The river was low (making for some bottom-scraping…read moreadventures), but Mark was sure to alert me to that fact before our trip. They have a variety of trips to choose from, ranging in difficulty from an easy paddle in the pond to a more advanced 5 hour trip. I will be going back next season!

    This is a great place to "get your feet wet" if you are new to kayaking (sorry, had to do it!) I…read moresay that because it is an easy put-in with lots of help from the staff. Water is calm and wide-open from the launch site so you have plenty of time to get your sea legs before you set off. Excellent place for groups or families. Very affordable. Singles are $10 for one hour rental, $15 for two. Doubles are $15/20. Life jackets, complimentary! There is a much longer trip you can take, but I can't give pricing or comment since we did the shorter route. Standard disclosures and waivers must be signed. Staff give you all the low-down on the routes and what you can expect to see along the way. It was fun to paddle both open lake and river sections. On the lake we mingled with swans and lily pads, on the river we enjoyed some beautiful and quiet spots with overhanging trees and a nice, gentle current. Although this review is for the paddling company where you rent your equipment, I will add a brief note to say it is located in Indian Crossing Trails Park and there is a public, free launch in the same location. So if your friend has a kayak, but you don't, no one is left out! The park itself is a lovely location with convenient parking for kayakers bringing their own or renting.
