We frequent this place every time we are up in Michigan when they are open. They are just down the road from us. Extremely kind and helpful. Always greeted with a smile and good conversations. Great place to stop for supplies, snacks, and drinks for the beach and travels. We’ve bought pizza from here often when we are looking pretty rough from a days worth of outside adventures, and don’t want to dine in a restaurant. We haven’t used the canoe/kayak/stand up surf boards yet. I’m not sure quite why. I proudly wear my trading post hat as much as I can, and am happy to be a customer of theirs. Nice atmosphere. Not just a shop.

Recently did a 2 person kayak rental from Honor Trading Post. Had no issues with the process. I noticed that they seemed to be making a lot of exceptions for other customers, such as not going after them for leaving paddles at the drip point instead of bringing them back to the store. They are definitely aiming to please. had a lot of fun on the lower Platte trip but that is really up to you to enjoy the experience. They just drop you off and that’s all. The driver was open to talking and answering questions but you have to ask. Definitely start with the shorter lower Platte trip if you have little experience with kayaking.

My wife and I went here the other day and rented tubes to go floating on the river. Rental process without a reservation was super easy, plenty of food/drinks/camping/swimming gear for sale, and everyone was super friendly. I lucked out because they had water shoes for sale($ 15 per pair) because I forgot to bring my own. Spent a lovely morning floating down the quiet river. My advice is to get there early(no later than 10) because the parking lot at the beach fills up quite a bit. We finished our journey down the river at 12:30 and there were hundreds of cars parked back up on the road so it was nice getting out early before the river filled up and before the sun was hitting too hard.

Check in was easy for renting tubes– didn’t need reservations and credit card minimum was only $ 5. They sell snacks, pizza, and alcohol at their store. No glass allowed on the water and shoes are recommended(you will walk on gravel). Everything was really easy!

Rented a canoe from here while up visiting family that lives on Platte Lake. The staff was very friendly & prices were good. Pizza and breadsticks were yummy too ;)

Kayak rental: We rented a double kayak here for $ 50($ 28 single) for a trip down the lower Platte river. The service was very friendly. They transport you and your car to the end point(Lake Michigan beach) and then take you back to the starting point on the river. So, you finish your kayaking at the end of the river and just leave it for them to pick up. All you have to do is return the paddles and cushions to the store. They do not charge a late fee if you want to relax on the beach a while and return them a little later. The river opens up into Lake Michigan… what a site!
