Best Canoe & Kayak Rental Service Independence Near Me

Chloe Ducrocq: 100% hands down one of the best experiences in Kansas City. Easy to book, they give you the precise location where to show up, and were super friendly. Loved every moment of being on the water and being able to kayak through the city. Highly recommend. Thank you KC Kayak and Canoe!

Alan Dall: Great experience! The river is a lot of fun at beginner level. Staff are awesome.

Weston White: Wonderful experience. Transportation, equipment, and KCKC employees were great.

Estelle Strother LMT: This business has refused to provide their services to me and my blind spouse. My evidence for this is the fact that the caller interrupted me several times to shoot down all of my ideas, and instead of providing any solutions even to reschedule so they had time to enact those solutions, described a completely different experience of dangers on the river that could kill you and needing a moderate level of experience. I did not want a refund, but that is all that was offered over and over again. I became worried this business was a scam and told them that if they stole my money I would report them. This is either discrimination for the disabled and they were unwilling to provide any accommodation at all or this business misrepresents the experience that is being paid for. Our experience at lake Jacomo was completely different! They provided everything they promised and were professional! We had a great time and it was safe and fun!! Good luck with this company.

Sarah Easley: Very cool experience! More people should get out on the Missouri.

Logan E: Great fun and a cool new way to see the downtown KC area!

Vanessa Norwood-kiddey: Easy and fun first experience kayaking!

Kevin Knapp: Bridge tour today was fantastic! Never kayaked before and was easy, safe and great fun!

Alexus Atchison: Definitely worth the money. We'll be doing this again.

Jon Imhoff: Had a great time! Tina was more than accommodating and great to deal with. If i ever make it back to town I will get back out on the water with them!

N T: had so much fun from beginning to the end!! Definitely worth the money you pay!!!

Laura McMullen: Did a river route a couple years ago with my own kayak and was very pleased with the care Randy took protecting my boat while transporting. also very organized. need to do it again!

Molly Postlewait: Randy was great with safety and the information about the river. It was super fun kayaking under the bridges and seeing the KC skyline from the Mighty Missouri.

Judy Whitmore: The guide (driver) was extremely helpful and knowledgable. He did a superior job getting the group prepared.Tour route was beautiful and well chosen.The types and condition of the Kayaks was poor. No one in the group wanted to use half of the kayaks. At least one the the kayaks with adjustable foot braces would not adjust.

Tony Sheets: Had an awesome time with my daughter. Beautiful morning, got to see the city from a different perspective. Perhaps favorite part was the ride back to my car with our guide. Got to learn so much about kayaking and long trips. I can't wait to go out again.

Brent Sweany: Randy is great. We've rented from him 3 times and I know we will again.

chennu benipal: Do visit here for fall colors

Tina Johnson: Hadn't been there for like over 20 years, it was mainly the same. Pretty water

John LaRoe: Things to know even when the marina itself is closed:There's a concrete boat ramp for boats on trailers, and next to that a sandy put in/take out for canoes, kayaks or SUP boards.There's also a couple of porta-potties.

Yash Halani: Good place to be. They stop renting after Labor day

Flo: It's a beautiful and fun place for the whole family

Phillip Ruttan: Love it and plays well with others.

Rick Newell: Excellent place for a hot day rent a SUP and take a dip!

Denise Thomason: My mom and I had a fun day of Kayaking on the lake. The reservation system leaves much to be desired, but the staff was very friendly.

Daniel Wortman: Beautiful park. Great place to sit by the water, fish, and go boating. They have boats for rent as well as the opportunity to bring your own. Dog friendly. Very peaceful. Has a very nice swimming area. They also have lifeguards on watch for added safety. They also have shelter houses available for rent for picnics and other events. A wonderful opportunity to explore nature. They also have well marked trails.Lots of parking and a nice amount of handicap parking as well. All around a fun Beautiful place to bring the whole family. I wish more people knew about how much fun is waiting for them in their own area. You don't have to travel an hour to see beautiful view. Can't wait to go back.

K Howard: Best Park in my area! Love to paddle boats out here, bring my dog out here and ride on the trails. Love this happy place!!♡♡♡♡♡

Melissa Eker: Have always loved the lake. When did they hike the rental prices for everything? It used to be $5 for half an hour. Well staffed for 4th of July weekend, but one guy working desk made it really slow. Waited an hour for a paddle board...for $21/hr. Funny, there were plenty of boats and staff to help. We finally cancelled. Online reservation may be faster?

Sai Surya Kiran Penubothu: This place is amazing with a beautiful lake but, as per Google this places closes at 7pm but guess what this places actually closes at 5:30pm. They are just open for all the rentals to be returned. Drive this far for disappointment after 5:30!!

Sheryl J Brooks: There were lots of kayaks, sailboats, hikers on trail. Nice park decent size

Toyka King: Definitely a family favorite spot!

Jeanette Weiser: The summer months are quite busy at the park, but this has consistently been my go to stress relief location destination throughout the pandemic season. Now that restrictions are easing, road construction season has started and access to park via Renner Road blocked most of 2022.

Jay Jones: Absolutely beautiful lake and park with everything you need. It's an excellent place to see birds that you will not see in the city.

Andrew Stevens: Great for biking running or walking.

Eko Setiawan: Great place for kayaking or SUP-Ing!

Dwayne Harris: Such a beautiful place

K Kingston: quietness
