Oak Orchard Canoe Kayak Experts (Rochester)

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Canoe shop not a creature was stirring, not even an email. The paddle socks were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. Mark, Robert, Alicia, Heather, Mike, Lou, Todd, Anita, Jack and Josh were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of roof racks and paddles danced in their heads.

We just got in a full load of Hurricane, Bonafide and Native Watercraft kayaks, so get them while you can they are going fast ! Please call for availability 585-682-4849

Did you know you can canoe and kayak on the refuge?! Oak Orchard Creek from Knowlesville Road to Route 63 are open to non-motorized boating year-round. That’s ...5.5 miles of fun (one-way)! Launching from Knowlesville Road is easiest, but you can also launch from Sour Springs Road or Route 63 (be careful for high traffic here, though). Boating along Oak Orchard Creek provides a unique way to explore and see a part of the refuge you won’t get from the trails and overlooks! You’ll travel through a National Natural Landmark and see some of the most beautiful portions of the refuge. When boating it’s important to wear a snugly fitting Personal Flotation Device (a.k.a. life jacket), dress for the water temperature, bring a buddy for safety, and have fun! Please note the waterway is not groomed regularly. Water levels can be variable and you may encounter obstructions along the route. Motorized boats are prohibited. #AwarenessWednesday #iroquoisnwr #refugefromhome Photo Credit: Rick Allen, Volunteer

Here's a great review of one of our VERY popular fishing kayaks...

Come in and get your isolation vessel

Have a vehicle but no rack? Come take a look at ours. We carry all shapes and sizes to work with any vehicle. Quickly mount your canoe, kayak, SUP, or cargo box. They are also useful for transporting ladders, lumber, skis, almost anything you can think of.

Just a friendly reminder, as the weather warms up try to remember the air temperature does not reflect the water temperature. Please wear your life jacket (From Nov 1st- May 1st it is the law to wear it as well anyone under 12 years old must always wear a pfd). Dress for the conditions.
