My granddaughter and I went in without a reservation and we were able to get two kayaks. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area.

The staff provided great information, were very helpful, and made the process easy. The online booking is straight forward, including the waiver.

Very friendly and helpful staff! It was my first kayaking experience and it was awesome! I think it’s a very reasonable price and it’s super accessible from downtown Freddy.

This time we rented a canoe, but we've also rented stand-up boards, and it's really fun to be out in the water on a sunny day! The staff is very friendly and will also offer tips to less experienced rowers.

Have rented a few kayaks from Second Nature, I usually cross the river and paddle up the Nashwaak Stream where you reliably see interesting wildlife in a very pretty setting - bald eagles, herons, last time there was a baby beaver collecting green grass.

Thanks so much to second nature outdoors. The staff are pleasant and informative and patient. It is wonderful to have this business in our downtown. A great way to get kids out on the water. Very reasonably priced. We will do it again
