Edgewater Canoe Rental

Definitely a hidden gem. Very laid back. You sign in, pay and paddle. Will be going back. Very friendly. Took my service dog for the first time and had no issues. Beautiful river to kayak. They offer help off you need it but it’s pretty self explanatory. One of the kayaks did have garbage in it but just look before you leap like any reasonable individual should do.

The overall condition of the place wasn’t very good but who cares about that, the kayaks we rented were fine. The river was beautiful. My wife, son, and I kayak’d and swam and overall spent about 6 hours on the water. The price was great as we got a deal on Qutopia (sp?). When we left they said they were serving free hot dogs and burgers that night not bad!
When we came back around 5 everyone was drunk, one guy was running around on a lawnmower with a 30 pack of bud dropping «F» bombs left and right.
I give it two stars because it wasn’t really a family atmosphere. I got my son out of there quick. The guy that was helping bring the kayaks in was stumbling all over the place.
The dogs and burgers were no where to be found when we got back but I wouldn’t have stuck around anyway with my young child.
I recommend it because you won’t find a better deal but beware if you have young kids.

OK, where do I start. When you pull up, you seriously think you just pulled up to the scene of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Just a complete horror show. Sofas on the lawn, a sea of broken down lawnmowers and a concrete block fire pit about the size of a small house, filled with remnants of said sofas and burnt beyond recognition metal & plastic. I wouldn’t flinch if this was used for a mass human burning at one point.
If you make it past the smell of Mustang cigarettes & formaldehyde, you will be greeted by a group of gentlemen right out of the Mad Max movies. All saddled around a lone campfire flanked by a few tarp-​covered campers, a cloud of smoke above them of who knows what.
These dudes are RTP. Ready. To. Party. Absolutely just a mish mash of Old Milwaukee chugging, old dudes ready to tell their life stories of past arrests and their Motorhead cover band (no joke).
We actually used the kayaks for about 6 minutes in total before we were bbq’ing, drinking up a storm with these dudes. Just a friggin blast.
A few other highlights I’d like to mention:
–The restrooms were in the house up the stairs; not sure how the girls in our group got out alive and/​or std free.
–For about 2 hours there was a shotgun party across the street of nonstop gunfire; at one point showering down upon us into the trees as we played bocce ball. excellent.
When it was time to leave, high fives and hugs all around from these dudes, like we’ve known them for years.
So all in all, 5 stars across the board. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as an afternoon hangout if you have a 12 pack, some friends and a willingness to hug some 50 year old dudes.

Great place to unwind, no frills, true; just great location, beautiful river, hospitable host Rob, and very affordable prices. Will be back for sure, as long as the weather keeps up.

This place is a hidden gem! Had such a great time. We were greeted right as we pulled up. The owner rob was such a sweet and down to earth gentlemen. You can’t beat his price anywhere! I highly recommend this place. Will be going back as much as I can!

Great little outfit for a great price! Friendly & accommodating — Just what we needed to get on the water!

I called Edgewater Canoe looking for a kayak rental and this is how the phone conversation went;
Lady: Hello
Me: Hi is this edgewater Canoe?
Lady: yep
Me: How much is it to rent a kayak for the day?
Lady: $ 25
Me: Ok, from what time to what time
Lady: It’s $ 25 a day (mind you she is extremely rude this whole time)
Me: What time do you open?
Lady: We are open
Me: Ya but when do you open
Lady: WE ARE OPEN NOW
Me: Ok, what time do you open tomorrow?
Lady: Hugh sigh
Me: I’m sorry but is this a prank? (This lady was so unbelievably rude I seriously thought it was a joke)
Lady: No it’s not a prank! Whatcha think I’m gonna wake up at 8 O’clock in the morning for nothin?! (referring to me asking what time they opened.)
Me: You are very rude
Lady: WELL F OFF AND DON“T BOTHER SHOWING UP TOMORROW (but she said the whole word) then she hung up.
I’m telling you that I am not exaturating the least bit. After she hung up on me all I could do was laugh. I texted my friend and told her to call to ask for a kayak rental but she was working. I didn’t even tell her how rude this lady was. I wanted someone else to witness her wrath. I only gave them one star because I couldn’t give them zero. I won’t be renting a kayak from them.
