duckie rentals

 

If you want to try something different and need we say, more daring, a duckie is your answer. A duckie is an inflatable kayak, or IK that allows you to paddle right into the heart of the action. A favorite among beginners, renting a duckie is an excellent way to get a feel for what kayaking is all about.

Duckies come in one-person and two-person styles, so they allow you to enjoy a solo adventure or hit the river with a friend or loved one. Either way, duckies provide a sense of independence on the river, even for inexperienced paddlers. Duckies are a fun and safe way to see the river and experience the thrill of paddling through whitewater on your own or with a companion.

At True North Outpost we offer duckie rentals and all the gear needed to enjoy a trip down the river. Because duckies are stable and forgiving, they are a great way to experience an independent adventure during your trip to Upper Michigan, while soaking up all that our whitewater has to offer. For those looking for a more independent experience than is offered by a guided rafting trip, renting a duckie from True North Outpost is the way to go.

If you don't want to travel, we also offer Guided Trips & TNO quick trips right near the outpost. For more info on the guided trips or TNO quick trip options, please call the Outpost at 906-239-4971.
