Norris Paddling Adventures

Nice set up. Does require reservations, especially in the middle of the week. No staff just waiting for a prospective customer.
Hydro bikes were in good condition and clean. Two hours gave us time to paddle several miles and picnic. Clean water, so regret we didn’t have longer to swim.

My family came to visit while I’m here working. Loved it. We rented the bike, kayak and tandem. Very enjoyable and easy to book and find. We did book online as its a seasonal adventure. Also a holiday weekend we went. But the staff were very friendly and told us where to go to get out and swim. The water was clear and refreshing. Everyone had a great time. Also liked the variety of devices to choose. The kids loved switching up. Thank you for a memorable day.

A great place to rent any watercraft to play in the water. The staff is very nice and helpful too. Their prices are very reasonable as well. They make you fill out the paperwork first and they keep your driver license. Once you are done with playing your watercraft, you then return it to them, then they will return your driver license and charge on your credit card on file. They charge by the hour. Different watercraft has different prices. During busy season, it's better to call ahead and reserve in advance.

Wow! What a beautiful, clean lake! I loved kayaking at Lake Norris and will definitely be back. The kayak rental was seamless and friendly. It all made for a great day! If you're thinking about visiting Norris Paddling Adventures, stop thinking and go do it!

We had a blast, it was 27.00 and my kids and I rented a kyack, I would definitely do it again, it's scenic and got to see the dam from a diffrent angle. Owner was so awesome! Did have a little anxiety about all the boats coming in and out and if they would see us or hit us... little nerve racking. But other then that..great.

Highly Recommend! Family-friendly! Place a reservation and its ready when you arrive!

There was a bit of a risk of rain and John was in communication with us the evening before to keep a watch on the weather, but the morning of the weather was perfect so we were good to go! We rented the peddle boat and adult kayak, but when we got to the location we realized that we wouldn't need the kayak and John so kindly removed it from our reservation. We had an absolute blast with our three children peddling around the lake. There are two coves that are close to the marina that were perfect for us. We enjoyed lots of swimming and a picnic on the shore. John also helped us get our kids into our two personal child-size kayaks so that we were all ready to depart from his dock. We couldn't have asked for a better day! We are so thankful for all the help John offered and we will definitely be back in the future!

John had the hydro-bikes set up and ready to go for my niece and me. The bikes were in good shape, and are stable enough to use as a swim platform. Be prepared for a nice workout with much greater speed than any paddleboat! Thanks for the great experience, John. I'll rent again for sure!

Great place to have a paddling adventure. Great guy and really wants everyone to have a good experience. So lucky to have this on Norris Lake - very convenient and nice to have a variety of paddling options. Thank You!

First time visiting Norris Paddling Adventures, and it was fun! My wife wanted to try a sit-on-top kayak as a possible new hobby, and John (the owner) convinced me to take out one of the paddle bikes. I have to say, I really enjoyed the bike! The owner is chill and helpful and it was a fun morning on the water. Will be back, thanks!

The kayak trip was amazing. The water is so clear and it's so very peaceful. This location is a hidden gem.. We drove from Michigan to this location and I honestly couldnt be more happier, it was everything and more then expected. And the prices are great.

Perfect afternoon on the water. John was great and made the rental experience very easy. paddle boards were in good shape and the coves in this area were easy to access. Really glad we found this spot!

Great outfit, top notch equipment, whether you like to kayak, paddle board, or pontoon boat. Everybody should try the hydro bike, tons of fun and great exercise... John is very friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back. ..

NPA is the best on the lake to rent and learn how to properly use all type of paddling equipment. The recent negative review is totally inconsistent with other reviews and our own personal experience with this business. Sounds like somebody has a personal axe to grind. Shameful way to try to damage the reputation of this fine small business.

Great experience!! Owner even helped me later when I texted for advice on buying my own SUP! Will definitely be telling my friends to rent here so we can paddle together!!

Very helpful and accomodating, extemely knowledgable about the equipment and obvious care in maintaining everything and making sure everyone had the proper fit for what they needed

Great trip and the rental guy gave out great tips on where to paddle.

I came here with my five year old a year ago and the owner was great. I was going to rent a kayak but instead he recommended this water bycicle which was perfect. On my way back now

Our family of two adults and two children had a great time renting a peddle pontoon boat. Great experience. Thank you!

It's great. Owner is cool, very helpful, great place to rent.Would recommend going to the left out of the marina in order to stay out of the way of speed boats.

wonderful experience! the owner is extremely dedicated, kind and willing to help/ assist with questions. highly recommend supporting this quality local business !
