Best canoe and kayak store in Boone, North Carolina (NC) 2025

Great store, great selection, great customer service. The store manager Zach let me try on everything and gave me all the time I needed to find what worked for me. Absolutely no pressure to buy anything. A very relaxed and friendly place to do business. I always shop local when I can but the fact their prices were the same as one of the big online footwear vendors didn't hurt my feelings. If you need hiking books or anything else for the outdoors this is the store to visit first. And if you're looking for an excellent hiking boot do yourself a favor and try the Salomon X Ultra 3 Mid GTX. I crushed Grandfather Mountain in a pair of those bad boys. ~Hickory
