Downtown Store

Thank you for visiting our Downtown Store located in the heart of Downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Our building is located on the east side of the Milwaukee River which allows (aside from the beautiful view) great paddling opportunities.

If you're looking for a unique paddling experience, consider renting a canoe or kayak from our fleet and paddle the Milwaukee River. It's a great opporutnity to explore the city at river level. Or, if you want to rent a boat and take it for a day or weekend trip, we'll help gear you up and off you go!
