Tri-State Area Kayak And Paddle Board Rental

09/08/2023

So today our posting will be a little different than usual. As many of you know, I’m not only a business owner, family women , but I’m a horse women too! I love my furry pals and I’ve withdrawn myself from the situation up until this point.

But having this women stalk my land lease, and post back and fourth while her horses are dry lotted, eating out of manure piles, and not receiving the care they need WHEN THEY NEED IT (not 3 months later when it’s convenient) is like the last straw.

I felt horrible when I saw her 300lb felon boyfriend (who steals other peoples horse trailers) on a TW horse with a stifle problem . She can keep riding by, and being a weirdo, won’t bother us none. Our horses are moving to their winter pasture next month. I’m sure they appreciate the paparazzi.

But let’s just put this thing to rest. Lori is boarding at a boarding barn I set her up with. She couldn’t afford to care for her horses then, and I’m sure she doesn’t now. Writing bad checks is bad business.

Lori, if you see this which I’m sure you will. Just know I have no desire to see you fail. However your nasty aptitude as a friend and equestrian has spoke for itself. You have no lessons, and your business isn’t profitable because of YOU. Maybe if you tried being better not bitter , life would be easier on you good luck keep riding, I’m sure you’ll see our herd out riding too. We aren’t going anywhere 💕 try not to get any of your friends life flighted. If your this know all teacher, then your students should be adaquately prepared. Here is a couple more pictures of our herd since you need them soo bad. I should just start calling you JT because short of not feeding your animals your a spitting image. 😂

How does our service work?

We are a convenience focused rental company. We are here to give our customers a HASSLE FREE Water adventure.

First decide which craft is best for you. We recommend that all kayak users be at least 14 years of age. Canoes are more family friendly as we allow children over the age of 5 ride with an adult of 18 years of age or older. Paddle boards are all stand-up boards and we recommend that users have previous experience with them before renting. These boards are pet friendly and we do allow 1 dog and 1 individual per board.

Once you’ve decided which craft best suits yourself and your group then it is time to pick a lake!

We service within 40 miles of the COLDWATER MI area, and have a shuttle service available. Pick your lake and schedule your trip!

We will drop off the craft(s) at your specified loading spot and will schedule a pick up time to load up your crafts at the end of your run. We also allow groups to be shuttled back to the loading area maximum group size for shuttle back is 7 individuals.

Life jackets are included and MUST be on your craft at all times. Children under the age of 18 are required to be wearing jackets while on the water at all times.
