This rental place is inside Itasca State Park right on Lake Itasca, very close to where the…read moreMississippi starts. You can watch people walking across the Mississippi River from the boat launch area. Here they have a double wide launch ramp. You can launch your own watercraft or rent here. This place is not just a rental place. When you walk in here, they have a LOT of things that you may need in the park to fish, fix your bike and lots of other things for the camping/active life. The staff here seem seasoned and they can get you in and out in a short period of time. They were informative and polite. You can rent all kinds of things here from bikes, paddle boards, kayaks, pontoon boats, 2 person peddle boats and more. They have all of the equipment that you will need in the park. I would check here before running to town. The rental time starts when you sign the paperwork so if there are any delays, make sure they reset your start time. This lake is beautiful, we saw so much wildlife from swans, loons, bald eagles, fish jumping and the beauty that a wooded tranquil lake in Minnesota can provide. You DO NOT need a fishing license in Minnesota if you are fishing on a lake that is completely inside a state park. - FYI. I uploaded a bunch of photos and then realized I had run over my roaming limit so I may have more photos to share. I hope that you enjoy my review, the pictures or come up and enjoy the park!! You can rent a kayak and paddle over to the mouth of the Mississippi in minutes. This lake is also larger than you think it is. If you have a motored boat, you can find many hiding spots for good fishing. The fish were biting and very quick and easy for kids to fish here. The lake is plentiful. If you have small children, you may have to not fish and just take small fish off their line and bait the hook over and over again. They sell off their bikes on labor day each year if you need another bike. They also have Wi-Fi to get your digital fix. Enjoy yourself and wear your life jacket. Be safe out there. They also have FREE Air for your camper tires or bike tires!!

Incredible people own this small cycle and awesome coffee shop!

We purchased a gift card for our son's bday, as he's a cyclist and could benefit from some of the gear they sell. We've gotten coffee a few times too, both drip coffee and several prepared coffee beverages (both hot & cold). Each one was very satisfying to those who ordered them.

This experience started out rough as the person who was supposed to meet us to get us going on our…read morekayaking adventure was about 45 minutes late. After that however...exceptional. Very personable fellow, who went above and beyond. I had a situation with one kid that necessitated an "emergency" trip to a convince store and he helped out with no complaints or signs of annoyance, when it clearly must have been annoying. The trek down the Pine River was beautiful and so relaxing. My kids (9 & 13) had a great time. Our whole group did. I don't know much about what else they offer but the caring service rendered, along with the great time meandering down the river, was one I'll remember for a long time.
