Had a great time kayaking with my Dad!…read more We did the Friday fireworks tour, which ends with watching the fireworks from the Bisons game. You start from the kayak launch across from silo city, paddle down to Canalside and then come back. There are two guides, one talking about the history of the area and another just to make sure the group is safe and accounted for. There are also sunset/twilight tours without fireworks which would be just as fun...I think I would have enjoyed spending more time paddling around Canalside and catching some of the music from the concert that was going on instead of the fireworks, but the tour was as advertised, so I am not going to fault them for that. Things to know before you go: -plenty of parking in this area as long as some huge event isn't going on -there is a small door along the road with a sign but the main entrance is actually inside the main Barrel Factory. -there is a bathroom to change, but there are no lockers for your things (at least I think), so you have to leave items in your car, so don't leave anything too valuable. -The kayak launch is dry, but I still got a bit wet from the water dripping off the paddle. The water made my clothes and drawstring bag I brought smell a bit funky so definitely only wear/bring items you can wash. My recommendations: -I really think the guided tours are best for people new to the area or new to kayaking. There really isn't anything TOO interesting history wise along the waterfront since a lot of it is new development (or abandoned) and most people in town have been to Riverworks and Canalside before. That said, it's still a great place to go kayaking and you can rent kayaks here without the guided tour if you are comfortable. They have good quality rentals with nice comfy seats. -Gene MaCarthys is practically right next door. What better way to reward all that paddling than with a nice cold beer?

Reserved our kayaks and filled out the waivers online the night before. Walked in and the check-in process was quick and easy. All the staff was really friendly and helpful.

We intentionally chose a morning visit to limit the high amounts of traffic that comes through as the day goes on. It was perfect.

I called the store and the owner was incredibly helpful in finding it off the shelf. The mosquito net was a camouflage-type, which to be honest, wasn't the best quality for $10.99, but I think the support and hominess of the store bumped it up to a 5-star experience for me. I wouldn't hesitate to come here for various outdoor needs, especially if you're big into fishing!

It was tough to decide what two pairs I wanted to buy. It took a while but I finally picked two perfectly fitting and good looking pairs of shoes. To make them slip-on, the backs of the shoes has hard plastic in them to make them easy to put on. Kind of like a built in shoe horn. These are not just old fashioned loafers. Even though you don't have to tie them, many styles have laces, mostly for looks. I recommend stopping in to try on a pair.
