Kayaking down the Paw Paw River / Rental Options

Kayaking down the Paw Paw River / Rental Options

Are you wanting an experience where you can truly connect with the outdoors?  There are three great options enabling paddlers to go down the Paw Paw River.  Guests may bring their own equipment or rent it at one of these two options:

OPTION 1: Hagar Township Kayak Park is located directly across the street from the campground is the most convenient option for guests with their own equipment. Put in at the park, and paddle up river coming back to where you started. 

OPTION 2: Third Coast Paddling is a great option for anyone including beginners or those looking to enjoy a wider, scenic stretch of the river that goes right through Harbor Shores, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. Guest can paddle up river and then right back to the launch which is located at 601 Graham Avenue, Benton Harbor.

OPTION 3: Coloma/Watervliet Kayak Rental helps guest enjoy a more narrow and challenging stretch of the river with plenty of obstacles to add to the fun. They will pick you up down river in Coloma after you launch from Hays Park in Watervliet.
