Best Canoe & Kayak Rental Service Worcester Near Me

Robin Pease: 5 year of Boating Membership. 98% of the time we enjoy paddle boarding @ Hopk. State Park location. Always a pleasure. Staff is efficient & helpful. If you want some natural AC, take a dip at the beach & hop on/in a paddle board or Kayak. Well worth the family membership.

Paul Nakazawa: Local recreational boating venue, especially nice for families with children/teens/young adults — They rent 2-seater paddle boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards. Looks like they also provide summer programs and instruction during the summer months. Located on a good sized lake where you can see most of the shoreline from the main boat house. Requires admission fee or pass to enter the state park. Seniors can obtain a lifetime pass to state parks from the Commonwealth for a very modest fee by an on-line application.

Matthew Remillard: Clean, quick, and great time for the whole family! Parking can get a bit hectic though.

Jeannette Benham: This is a wonderful place to go paddleboarding and kayaking! Once you get on the water, it's excellent.Logistically, I think Boating in Boston could be more organized. The website doesn't always accurately reflect operating hours or policies around reservations.For example, recently I came on a Saturday at 10 because the website said opening was at 10. But a large college group had gone out earlier than that and no one else could get a boat until 11.Another time, I made a reservation for 6 pm, arrived at 6:03, and was told no more boats were going out. The employee did allow us to get boats, but there was no indication on the website that timing was so strict or when the last boats would go out. I would have been happier knowing that boats are expected back by 7 than being told the last boats go out at 6.These are small things, but they do make me more hesitant to go again.

Giselle G: Paddleboard, kayak, peddleboat, in a very large lake. Plenty of parking and reasonable rental pricing along with family cookout areas.

Deveka Bhardwaj: Always fun! Staff is friendly. Place is clean. Easy to reserve. Perfect for families with little kids ❤️

Bill “Labgeek” Tschantz: Lots of boats. Friendly staff. Reserve before you go.

Brendan Paul Mitchell: Great staff with lots of options to choose from. Water is very clean and perfect for small water craft.

Hiram Gonzalez: Best to arrive on bike or walking

Kunthea Prum: I've checked out this place twice now was really impressed each time. I'm a season pass holder so I've went to their other locations but this one is the biggest and the lake is great. They've got all kinds of boats and paddle boards and the staff are excellent as usual. They're friendly, helpful and just a joy to interact with.I really like that the lake has three islands that you can explore and swim around which plenty of people were doing. I will definitely return before the summer is over.

Isis Tovar: Very good service but lifeguards have a bad smell.

Sabrina James: Friendly staff, I always enjoy coming back to this park to Kayak with my friends and family

Mark Jacobson: Stopped by today and noticed the performance boats and boards being set up for the opening of the boathouse in May. Charles River Canoe and Kayak will be operating the boathouse this season.

Drew Messinger: BIB will no longer be operating at this location come May 2019 as they lost the vendor permit from DCR. 🥂🍾

mike paquette: Serene

Philip O'Carroll: Just turned up and rented a canoe for an hour. I had no experience and was really dressed for a mall but this didn't matter, I didn't even get my shoes wet. All in it was $28 which is good value. The staff were friendly, gave clear instructions and helped hold the boat as I got in. It's a beautiful peaceful small reservoir dog leg in shape about 2km long overall and around 350m wide. However there were dozens of craft to rent. I imagine it must get crowded on Summer weekends.

Inna Moiseeva: Grate place for boating and swimming. Great stuff.

Anh Nguyen: The boathouse is in a beautiful spot and offers a variety of wildlife. But the staff there is surely rude! We came in a couple of minutes before the closing time and they refused to let us out, not even for 30 mins (boat out by 6pm, back by 7pm, we just wanted to get back by 6:30). The guy at the front desk said it would take them too much time to lock the boats afterwards. Oh hello, there were at least a dozen of boats out there already!! And another customer just hopped into a kayak to go out right in front of us. If the closing time said 6pm, honor it when someone walked in at 5:55. Not to mention I had a seasonal pass so all it took for them was to put in my membership number and that was it for the administration. Not coming back again.

June Mallon: Not a local business anymore! I called four times to be sure that they had an advertised boat in stock, and when I went to pick it up I was told that they'd advertised the wrong boat on their website, that the boats they had cost $350 more, and that they would not honor the quote they'd given on the phone. They said they'd been acquired by a large recreation firm, and didn't have the authority to make local decisions anymore. Too bad! Just lost a long time customer.

Sergey Arutyunov: Nice place for a relaxing afternoon on a kayak (or boats if you prefer). Prices are fair, same as competition.

Boomer1124: Quaint place on Quaboag lake/river. The chicken pot pie was very tasty.

W M: This is a wonderful and interesting place to visit. Homemade food and tasty treats in a warm and inviting cafe, surrounded by the unique and natural beauty of the Quaboag inland coastal plain. A very fun place to explore, even in the colder months. Follow their Facebook page for updates.

Amanda Gentile: As someone who has to eat GF/DF, it's really hard to find yummy homemade treats without going to WorcesterWhites Landing will make ANYTHING you want,(call ahead if there is something specific you want) scones (melt in your mouth), Muffins (delicious!!). Even homemade Ring dings, and hohos. AND!!! The prices are ridiculously amazingCheck them out. You will thank me.

Tula Loo: Wonderful is the best way to describe. Fresh and prepared to order.

Kaitlyn Lambert: White's Landing & Bake Shoppe is quickly becoming my favorite place for lunch! Dog friendly, amazing food made with love, and a great view! They care about the quality and source of their food more than anywhere else around. Thank you for serving real, clean food, and made from scratch too!!

Warren Snow: Great people. Fair prices. Great home cooked food. A definate place to visit for lunch.

Ryan Aho: Amazing homemade food, and a beautiful view. Impressive interior decorating.

Lisa Matondi: Super cute bake shop. Has yummy sandwiches & drinks too! Very friendly staff. The outdoor seating has such a beautiful view. You can rent kayaks as well! It's a Brookfield historic location. Stop in to support local small businesses, you won't be disappointed.

TAACT: AMAZING! Great food, great service, family atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Dan Sinagra: Absolutely baffled by all these great reviews. Just stop by for the first time on the way back from brimfield and the woman in there who has the personality of an old wet newspaper refused to help me in my life or acknowledge us. When asked when they close she said we close at 5:00 but I don't know what time it is. I hope your business fails

Terrence Flynn: Nice little spot. Had a good time and the people there made sure of it. Would highly recommend👍

Michael “The Godfather” Damon: Omg. Try the meat pies. Not what I expected. It was basically the best steak bomb in a flaky pastry…. Heavenly

Aster Chalmers: such a beautiful place! The staff was so kind!

Michelle Tremblay: Great experiences here (3 times to be exact!) Fun and easy kayak rentals and excellent coffee and pastries. Will continue to return and recommend to everyone.

Christina Fontaine: Beautiful, quaint area. Nice to sit with a little something from the cafe/bakery, or rent a kayak or canoe & enjoy paddling down the river. Worth a stop 😊

Michele Miller: I had such a wonderful time this morning with a dear friend! This place is such a hidden gem in the Brookfields! Thank YOU so much for your warm welcome. I will be back!

Sheryl Dooley: Was a lovely experience having lunch at this gorgeous venue. Anna, very sweet owner, made my daughter and me delicious fresh sandwiches -California one and BLT - both on homemade by Anna) focaccia! The sandwiches were made with love I told my daughter, which is why they were sooo delicious! In addition, we sat and ate them on the deck overlooking the beautiful property grounds and Quaboag River. My daughter had Anna's homemade peach tea and wanted more to go! I also took a piece of hummingbird bread home to my husband, who loved it! They have homemade baked goods also and come to find out they have catering services! Such a wonderful lunch place find to return to soon! Thank you Anna and team for a wonderful experience. :)

Tara Browne: SO thrilled to have a little cafe experience within walking distance of home. Brookfield has needed this for a long time.BONUS points for the BEST apple fritters (made-to-order) and wonderfully gracious owners!

Marc Vigeant: We rented tandem Kayaks with our kids. There's so much wildlife there! The kids had a lot of fun! We ate breakfast sandwiches. The bacon was amazing and they have great coffee! I would give them six stars but there are only five!!

Richard Donati: Beautiful place.

Horace Bryant: I highly recommend AquahoppersNE.The location we were brought to was one of the most scenic and peaceful areas in MA I ever kayaked. My friends had an easy time and really enjoyed the lake we visited.The owners were very nice and helpful with arrangements.If you want a great experience kayaking in central MA,contact Aquahoppers NE and you will have a fun day with many memorable moments and a relaxing time 🙂

Ann Barry: Had a great experience renting kayak from Aquahoppsne. Did 2 hour rental in Wyman Pond in Westminster. The kayaks were in great shape and well equipped, service very friendly and professional. Highly recommend renting either hourly or daily.

Jessica Hunt: Donna made our afternoon perfect ! Not really knowing the area, She made a few suggestions & then met us at the spot we chose. It was perfect ! Who knew an afternoon on the water would be so easy! If you want a day of kayaking & don't own one, definitely go with aquahoppers. Kayaks were great and I didn't need to worry about transportation

Cassandra Elworthy: Awesome experience!

Conrad Dougherty: Called right at opening and was greeted warmly. Agreed on a time and met at lake Wyman. Had a great time. I rented a kayak for my brother and brought my own. As our day progressed my kayak began to have issues. Aquahoppers kindly let me use a kayak on the house and I truly appreciate that. The kayaks they rent are comfortable and great to fish out of. Highly recommend and I’m sure you’ll have a great experience with them.

Mike and Jackie Turner: We had a great experience with aquahoppers at Lake Dennison! The woman we worked with was super helpful, she gave some instructions to our kids because they had never tried it before and they were able to get going really easily! The equipment was high quality and the whole process super convenient! Would definitely recommend!

Danielle Mac: We had such a wonderful time kayaking and it would not have been possible without Donna and her amazing patience! (Even when we got turned around getting there!)

Kevin Kelly: Had an amazing experience at Lake Wampanoage! We were lucky to go on such a lovely day. Pick up and drop off of kayak was very smooth for the agreed upon times. We saw a beaver and a loon and had a picnic on one of the islands. Will definitely be coming back!

Sheila Mcniff: My first time kayaking was more than I ever could have imagined! I don't know much about kayaks but I was definitely learning in the Ferrari of kayaks. It was easy to carry and maneuver, had a soft comfortable seat with backrest, plenty of storage space (one sealed shut to keep your valuables from getting wet) . My favorite though was the cup holder that was big enough for my XL iced coffee. I'm 5'10 and this kayak had foot rest that adjusted exactly for my height. Donna was so accommodating too, giving me pointers along the way and sad to say, she did have to rescue me from the pickle I got myself into. The 4 miles up the Assabet River out of Concord during the fall foliage, was full of wildlife and beautiful scenery and even had a few challenging spots for the more experienced kayaker. I would definitely recommend Aquahoppers with Donna's knowledge and expertise. Out of my own fear, I swore I would never kayak. Now I can't wait to push myself a little further and tackle the next challenge! Fully Recommend this company.

Deb Ronca: Very prompt, knowledgeable, and helpful. The kayaks were very good.

Carol 458: Wonderful kayak rental experience on Lake Dennison! Second year in a row at Lake Dennison and once again it was beautiful. Aquahoppers accommodated my reservation with only one day’s notice and the service and kayak were perfect. Saw great blue herons, turtle, monarch butterflies. Thank you Aquahoppers!

Dillon Morgan: We rented kayaks from aquahoppers and did a 21 mile adventure on the Sudbury/concord river. We went from Framingham to Bedford. It took us 7 hours including a lunch break at a really nice picnic area in Wayland overlooking the river. They had it all planned out for us including the lunch and beverages. The kayaks were by far the nicest kayaks I’ve ever been in and had all of the extra accessories for comfort, including a water proof console that I used to store my phone, keys, and wallet. I recommend a shorter adventure for novice kayakers but wanted to push myself to see how far I could go. The owners accompanied us on the trip and everything was perfect. I strongly recommend it to all. They really know how to provide the ultimate adventure. I will be going back again. Thank you Aquahoppers!

Jon Libby: Great service and great kayaks! They explained everything and were very accommodating. I strongly recommend them!

Franklyn Holroyd: What a great experience & great company.The owners met us with the kayaks and when we were done they picked them up.It was my first time going and it was so much fun.Gliding around the lake.The owners were super nice and brought us waters and Cheese and crackers when we were done.A+++++++++👍

Crystal Haenisch: This was a great experience and the owners even brought us snacks!! This is where we will rent our kayaks. I love how they bring them to you👍

Ally Melanson: They were so amazing! Super sweet and kind people. Made our trip so much more relaxing and fun! Definitely recommend this place.

Grace Ethier: Aqua Hoppers turned an ordinary day into a magical one. Donna is kind and helpful and the kayaks are clean and a breeze to be in -- even for beginners. 12/10 would rent again. Thanks for a wonderful day!

Laura Ethier: Amazing! The whole experience was remarkable. Donna was so kind and the kayaks were great! Thank you for a great day!

Kyle Dokus: Absolutely marvelous! Scheduling, pick up, and drop off were a breeze. and tips on the area were spot on and extremely helpful. Kayaks were excellent and on a great day! Thank you so much for the wonderful time.

BapSol Music: What a great kayaking experience! I rented a couple of single kayaks and took advantage of their local deals by going out to Lake Wampanoag. My friends and I had a great time. When we were done, we gave Aquahoppers a call, and they showed up promptly and met us at the shore with water for us! What a lifesaver because we went out to the water unprepared with enough drinks to stay hydrated. The equipment they have is also top notch. Wilderness Systems kayaks are top of the line and the fiberglass paddles were lightweight and made it easy to navigate around the body of water.After reading a 4 star review on Yelp, I've realized that it's completely ridiculous. Don't review a price, accept the price, pay for the price, then leave a 4 star review complaining about the price. The price is reasonable for what you're getting, and the service was absolutely impeccable. I will 100% do business with them again.

Djr1088: If you are a bus driver and here with a group u can’t go swimming at all not happy it’s 91 degrees sweating in the parking lot I forgot to mention this per company policy of the bus company I am not supposed to leave this group

Rosie Legee: I've been going to this place since 1990. The family who allows you to come onto to their own property is amazing!!! Minimal fee, rent a kayak, canoe, paddle boat, not sure if they still have row boats, swim, jump, slide, sun bath, bring n eat lunch, snack bar, n enjoy summer. Picnic tables & playground. Last time I checked they were open mon-fri till 5pm.I don't think they were open summer of 2020 because of covid 19.

Frank Smith: Went here in 8th grade summer. Really nice.

Joe Augusto: Nice place

Bob Lacroix: Lots of boat traffic...

elena sullivan: I love sunset and the high dive rules you would have a good time.

Stephanie V: My daughter and I had a wonderful time renting a kayak and exploring the lake. The staff working at this small local beach were lovely and helpful. The rates are reasonable and affordable for a family. And while out on the water we got to see the bald eagles that live on a center island. We will definitely return to this lovely beach.

Yafraida Encarnacion: Hermoso lugar se pasa muy bien en familia. Lo recomiendo 100%

Janet Vaughn: Had a great day with my family

Mike Fontecchio: Great way to spend a day! Friendly, family owned business.

Michelle Cronin: Ocean...any of them are worth going to walk once...

Brent DeBraga: It's one of my favorite places to be. Been going here for over 20 years.

Nanyeris Bueno: Nice and clean place but $$$$

kaylee lavallee: My boyfriend and I come here often despite they're extremely rude demeanor, inconsistent hours ( there's no way of knowing until you get there if they're actually open during normal hours because they never answer the phone even when they are there) and just all around horrible to deal with. The only reason we continue to go is because they're moderately priced and 5 minutes from our house.

Dina Taylor: Our own little hidden gem!

Reagan Locke: 👍😃🎉

Vincent D. Farina (VrodSwagSkating): A must go

Nino: Great fishing spot!

Victor Montanez: First time at Sunset Beach and I had a great time it's such a nice place and the price to enter there is very reasonable.

wilnery carrillo: It is perfect
