Very friendly staff with very reasonable prices. They also split the fare into full-day and 4 hour rentals. Unless you plan to take a kayak around for laps around Oneida, a 4-hour is more than enough to enjoy the beautiful views and have a great time kayaking. However, for those of you die-hards, there is the option of an all-day rental. They offer a kayaking club which gives you access to their docks and free lessons (on all but 2 days of the week) for $50 a year. They provide life jackets for those who want one. My only nitty gritty issue was the one I had was very sweaty, almost like it was never washed. In the end though, it really isn't needed. The creek is very shallow and show is the vast amount of the shoreline alongside Oneida ~3-5 feet.
The club opens into the Chittenango Creek about 2 miles from the opening into Oneida Lake. The route is very scenic and calm making for some easy paddling. Oneida Lake has some more turbulence but still considered very calm waters compared to where I am from (Long Island, with it's access to the LI Sound/ocean).
Overall great little rental place for those looking to do some kayaking or relaxing on the water. Will definitely come back in the future. read more
