Paddle or Pedal

We loved everything about our experience here. It was a slow day in October. So slow, in fact, that the «official» at the entrance to the park thought PoP was closed for the season. We were happy to find it open, and still manned by a crew of one. I wish I knew his name (the owner), but regardless, he was so sweet, so casual, and he made our time there wonderful. The kayak trip was short (about an hour), but we still had time to cruise around all the beautiful dockside homes and see some beautiful wildlife.

I am so sorry my family and I didn’t find this fantastic place sooner after years of living in Annapolis.
Large selection of rentals, wonderfully helpful and courteous staff and prices are soo reasonable for what you are getting.
We spent an unforgettable afternoon on the water for $ 20 and came away with a new obsession for kayaking! Can’t recommend enough!

Love this place! It’s like a little hidden gem. Been here twice, most recently to celebrate Mother’s Day with a family kayaking trip. No line, plenty of boats, reasonable price. We got 2 tandem sit-​in kayaks, 1 adult and 1 child in each. One hour was plenty of time to paddle around the creek and enjoy the beautiful views and weather. They sell Popsicles, too, for a treat afterwards. My kids loved it!

A great, quiet place to rent kayaks for $ 15/​hour. Great for adults and kids. We are fairly new to kayaking; more experienced kayakers may want to look toward a tour or another area. However, if you want to relax and do so at a reasonable price, you can’t beat it!

Enjoyed a beautiful paddle up Harness Creek with a friend. Came back to try standup paddleboard tour to Loden Pond led by Scott. What a great way to enjoy Annapolis! Thank you, Gary & Scotty!

Great place. I came down with a couple of friends from Baltimore to get some time on the water and just enjoy being outside. What a nice place. They rent single and double kayaks as well as paddle boards and peddle boats. They rent boats by the hour and for half and full days. Their prices are very fair and their boats, paddles and PFD’s are in great shape. PFD’s are available for kids and the staff members are very helpful.
The water’s around the park are a lot of fun to explore and they over varied experiences from marshy areas to the Chesapeake Bay. It was a blast to paddle around and explore the area! I’ll be back next summer.

Located in the back part of the parking lot by the water park in a little hut, Paddle or Pedal offers both bikes and kayaks for rental.
I ended up coming here twice in two days. The first for kayaking which was a ton of fun and very reasonably priced compared to places in larger cities.
The guy working who I’ve since forgotten the name was incredibly friendly and helpful in ensuring you had everything you needed and felt comfortable kayaking. He was a no-​nonsense kind of guy who only told you what you needed to know based on your experience. That’s always nice :)
The rates are good and all the kayaks and bikes are all well maintained and appeared to be pretty new.
In addition to the kayaks and bikes they actually have rental paddleboarding which is something I haven’t seen much of.
Overall the experience was great and it was a fun and perfect way to see the area.
