Wild Meadow on Winnipesaukee

The best around 100%. Very friendly and helpful staff. Best price around. The owner even gave us directions to a amazing public kayak launch. I can't say enough about the service we received.

Steve and his staff were exceptional! We were outfitted with 2 paddle boards and all the accessories after being provided with thoughtful purchasing advice. Prices were better than other stores. And quality of the selection was top shelf. Great team. Great service. We’ll be back!

Perfect place to kayak. The harbor was very good for any type of paddle sport. The service was very friendly and they hooked us up with new kayaks that looked barley used. Rented for a full day at $50 a kayak which is reasonably priced for the area. Good restaurants right around the corner to have a bite and drink after a nice peaceful day on the lake.

Wonderful place to rent a kayak. Only $45 for the day! The people were very nice and the launch area is an easy in and out. I spent 4 hours paddling around the lake enjoying the beautiful small coves, birds and thousands of dragonflies. Lucky for me there was absolutely no one on the lake. I only counted 6 motor boats the entire time I was out there. I will definitely rent from Wild Meadow again.

We loved this place. The service was amazing, all the equipment are new and in very good condition and the area of the lake we kayaked in was really beautiful and had somewhat calm and warm water. Will definitely go back to try their SUP yoga! Btw definitely make reservations one or two days ahead, they get sold out quickly.

We have gone here for 3 year's straight to rent Kayaks for our vacation! Amazing service and such kind people ❤

We were able to reserve our kayaks from overseas. The staff is very helpful and responsive to emails. When we picked up the kayaks, they loaded them on our vehicle and ensured we understood how to take the kayaks down and put them back up before we left.

Best of all were the recommendations for where to find good put-in locations and wildlife viewings. All the recommendations were spot-on.

On our next trip to the Lakes District, we are definitely coming back to Wild Meadow to get our boats.

Update: Rented our kayaks from Wild Meadow for the second year. Same great product and service. See you next year!

Loved the experience. Wild meadows does a wonderful job maintaining their kayaks and guiding new kayakers. Staff is helpful. I wished I had requested for a longer oar though with a larger spoon area. The oars we got were kind of small for us and we felt like we had to do a lot of work with our arms to make up for it.

My partner and I rented a paddle board and a kayak last Saturday and LOVED our experience. All the staff we worked with were very nice and professional. You could tell they were focused on their customers having an excellent experience which we 100% did. The lake was clean and absolutely beautiful. It was a Saturday so it was busy on the lake but we still felt like we had out own space and it was not crowded. The staff gave great directions about where to visit and wild life to look out for along the way. I was super excited about the possibility of seeing otters, we might have spotted one but will need to return again for a better view.

I also really appreciated their concern for health and safety. Another rental place in the area we called said they had no protocol for wearing masks or for cleaning their rentals. Wild Meadow staff wore masks the entire time and I witnessed them wiping down the rentals.

Overall, we are really excited to return and would recommend to anyone!

Our family enjoyed the kayak Eco tour while visiting the area on vacation. Booking online was easy, and when I needed to make an adjustment to our reservation, the team was super helpful and friendly on the phone! I would highly recommend it. Our tour guide was fun and informative, and when it was taking my son longer to paddle back to shore than the rest of the group, she stayed alongside him and made sure he made it back OK. This was our first time kayaking as a family and it was a blast, and a wonderful way to experience lake Winnipesaukee, thank you!

Update: I had 4 boards reserved for the 4th of July weekend, unfortunately it was rainy and in the low 60s every day and we had to change plans. I was nervous about having to cancel and eating the cost of the reservations but Wild Meadow had no problems refunding us, so thankful!! Hope to be back sometime this summer with warmer weather!

Great experience for first time paddle boarders. The employees showed us on a map where to go for sight seeing and gave us tips on handling winds and waves. The launch point is in a great location, lots of open water and within paddling distance of two small islands, one of them even had delicious wild blueberries! All the equipment was in good condition and we had a ton of fun. It was easier than I expected! The prices can't be beat, everywhere else I looked into was $40+ by the hour but Wild Meadow is $45 per day for paddle boards. Definitely coming back!

Rented Kayak's for a week in Moultonboro, very happy with the service and rates. We had Kayaks delivered and picked up. Service people were excellent planning on doing again next year. Well worth it.🙂

Rented tandem kayak and paddle board for the day past week. Excellent equipments and very reasonable rates. Can't say enough thanks to the owner + staff and neighbor friend with a boat. Story to be told for years to come. I'd give 10 stars if allowed.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! It is a peaceful beautiful part of the Big Lake! Great place to paddle and get a bite to eat. Steve, the owner, has unbeatable pricing on Kayaks, Canoes & Stand Up Paddle Boards.
Also, join me, Lori Card for a Stand Up Paddle board yoga class!!! Sunday & Wednesday mornings.😎🏄‍♀🏄‍♂👾

My girlfriend and I took paddleboards out for a half-day rental - went splendidly. The staff was very friendly and the rates were cheaper than nearby places. The launch site had way fewer speed boats than the other place we checked out nearby, so getting on the water was an easy experience. After that, there was plenty of lake to explore! Would go paddle boarding here again.

Easy way to enjoy the lake! Thanks for making our day fun!

Wow, stopped by to see all the new inventory! They have so many choices of really cool paddleboards, kayaks and accessories. The sales staff were so friendly and greeted me the minute I stepped through the door. What a great local business in the lakes region of NH. You have to stop in and see what I mean...its worth the trip.

We rented paddle boards and kayaks and had a great time on the lake! The owner had a telescope set up and let us watch the solar eclipse as we returned the equipment. Be aware that the nearby beach is for residents only, but it's ok to use as long as you park in the lot above it and not next to it.

Wild Meadow is amazing! Excellent staff, show room, and rental fleet.
Great opportunity to get right on the lake and enjoy the beauty that Center Harbor has to offer!

Friendly service, excellent customer support. Staff was helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Provided great info on where it is good to paddle and insights on great sites!
