Boat & Canoe Rental

There are many places where you can walk or drive along our waterways. But to really see how beautiful and wild our magnificent rivers are, you need to feel the pull of their currents. Rent our members’ canoes and kayaks and see why people have explored our rivers for centuries.

The St. Joseph River, Michigan's second largest river, offers medium-fast to quiet waters for boaters as it flows through Buchanan, Berrien Springs, Niles and St. Joseph-Benton Harbor in Berrien County. The Galien River quietly winds its way from Galien to New Troy, through Warren Woods State Park and past Union Pier into Lake Michigan. The Black River calmly flows through South Haven and Bangor into Lake Michigan while the Paw Paw River lazily runs through Paw Paw, Lawrence, and Hartford in Van Buren County.
