    It was our first visit to Grand Haven and we wanted to take advantage of the lakes. We found Lakeshore Kayak Rental and decided to try it because my daughter wanted to try SUP boarding and we wanted to kayak. The family who owns Lakeshore could not be any nicer or more helpful. The owner gave us great advice and treated us like family. Her son was equally as nice. She went over everything so we felt confident as we kayaked and paddle boarded on the Grand Lake. We were out about 3 hours and they were there to greet us when we returned. I highly recommend Lakeshore if you enjoy a relaxing day of lake activities. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

    I love this place! Super friendly and helpful staff and absolutely beautiful scenery! I recommend the 3hr kayaking trip on Lloyd's Bayou. Any less time and you don't get to see enough.

    This is my first time solo kayaking and loved it. This was also my daughters first time standup paddle boarding and was equally impressed. Employees were super friendly and helpful. We choose the three hour option and were very glad. The river was very clean and relaxing to explore. There were just a few boats and jet skis that created a fee waves and they were very respectable to us that were non powered. Next time in Grand Haven this will be my only choice to kayak or paddle board.

    I went to try stand up paddle boarding for the first time while my dad kayaked, and we felt so welcomed!

    I really enjoyed my experience with Wisner Rents Canoes recently. We had a large group and did the…read morePine to Newaygo 13 mile trip with canoes and kayaks. I can't speak to the reservation process, as we had a friend who handled that, but the experience from check in to the end was great. I browsed the website beforehand and appreciated the super detailed and helpful FAQ and information. I'd never kayaked or canoed on a river before, so I didn't really know what to expect, but it was a lot of fun. You can bring food and drinks for your trip, and they sell water, ice, and small snacks. You can also buy water shoes (helpful for tubing) and koozies that you can hang around your neck (which would have been useful for kayaking). Once we were all checked in, we loaded up in the bus and they drove us to the starting point where our kayaks and canoes were waiting. The trip was mostly leisurely (a tandem kayak experience may be a test of some relationships, haha) and we saw tons of wildlife: green herons, great blue herons, turtles, and three bald eagles! It wasn't too busy or crowded on the river, which was nice. It was $66 for the double kayak rental, which includes paddles, life jackets/cushions, and transportation to the entry point. You can also bring your own kayak or canoe and they'll transport it for a charge. Fishing boats, tubes, and rafts are also available to rent. A fun summer activity!

    Our tubing on the Muskegon River through Wisner's ended badly. I am giving two stars to encourage…read morethe owners/managers/staff to be more forthcoming about the extremely hazards presented at the end of the float. After our fun, relaxing trip my grandson and I saw what we had been told to watch for when it's time to disembark. What wasn't communicated was that you will have ZERO way to steer or maneuver your tubes toward the boat launch / pickup point. * as an older woman - never floated before, I and my grandson were put in a dangerous situation when the SUPER STRONG CURRENT took us past the point where we were told to get out. The shallow, gentle river ends right where you need to be able to control or "drive the tube" to the left riverbank. We were in the middle attempting to go left when the crazy fast current grabbed our tubes and shot us out to the rough, deep water. If it hadn't been for some very brave and kind river visitors, our day might have ended very differently. One person attempted to swim to us and couldn't, again because the current is so strong. I had to make the decision to disembark and hoisting one arm around my empty tube, swim while pulling the three tubes containing our cooler in one, my grandson in the other toward the rocky shore past the exit point. Swimming against that river current released adrenaline you read about - when people lift cars off people! There is ZERO way I am strong enough or a good enough swimmer to do what I did. Two women in kayaks (angels really ) rowed to us. If they had not been there.... Right when there were I'm afraid to think what might have happened, exhausted they allowed me to lean on their kayak to rest. We finally were able to exit the river on someone's private property and walk back to the pickup vehicle. While one of them hauled our tubes back with their kayak. Please know that the exit point is treacherous on the 2.5 hour float. If you are not experienced, if you are not a strong swimmer - BRING A PADDLE - so you have some control of the tube when you need it. I MAY NEVER FLOAT AGAIN. but if I do, I now know the questions to ask and what to bring with me. The lady at the desk and the young man who picked us up were both very friendly. While she did impart the importance of where we needed exit the river, a stern warning to FIRST TIMERS, or older folks about the danger that lies ahead is absolutely warranted. Please be safe out there!

    I love walking at Millennium Park. I have been exercising here for many years. There are miles and…read moremiles of paths to explore. I enjoy mixing up my different routes to go different distances. There are several small lakes, one of which has a beach and other activities such as paddle boats. There are two different entrances to the park, which helps spread visitors out on really busy days like weekends. On the Secchia Meadows side, there is a nice pavillon where my friends had their wedding. I highly recommend Millennium Park for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors, spotting creatures such as deer, turtles, muskrats, eagles, and more.

    I've got lots of thoughts running through my head, simultaneously, all the time. So when I stepped…read moreup to the check-in counter at Millennium Park Boat Rentals, the thoughts in my head were: Wow! It only costs $8 per hour to rent a kayak? Sweet! Wow! These people checking me in and telling me safety information are incredibly young! Will they be able to save me and my family if our kayaks flip over and we fall into the lake? Wow! What a beautiful day! But I wonder how often people fall into the lake. I also wonder how deep the lake is. I also wonder if it's possible to be trapped underwater if your kayak flips over. In the end, I decided to kick it on the sandy beach and wave at my family as they happily paddled on the lake. They had a great time kayaking. I had a great time not kayaking. Like Hot Chocolate says: Everyone's a winner, baby. Kayaks are either single-person or double, and we used one of each. There are very few instructions given, which was a little alarming to me. (You mean you just assume we know what we're doing?!) But fortunately, my family knew what they were doing, so they didn't need much instruction to get themselves out on the water. As you paddle around the lake, you pass the Millennium Park beach and splash pad, plus little islands here and there. There is about four miles of shoreline to explore. I was told that the lake was nice and calm, and that it was a pleasant time on the water. We rented kayaks, but Millennium Park Boat Rentals also offers canoes, paddle boats and stand-up paddle boards to rent. Keep in mind that rentals are seasonal -- this place is only open from Memorial Day-ish to Labor Day-ish.
