Enjoy a nice day on our rivers launching from our main location at Jerry’s Docks/Harbor Yards where we’ve been since we opened in 2013! We are open 7/days week and offer kayak, tandem kayak, canoe and paddleboard rentals at this location.

You can return your kayaks whenever you’d like during your 4 hour rental. Some paddlers stay out for an hour, some stay out for 4 hours – it’s up to you. If you book a 4 hour rental and only stay out for 2 hours, we will not provide a refund (of the difference between a 2 and 4 hour rental options, which is $5).

If you plan on stopping along the way at one of the public docks for lunch or a beverage, you may want to consider a 4 hour rental, which will provide more time to enjoy your day and not rush back. Two hour rentals are perfect for a nice short kayak outing.

All rentals includes a kayak, paddle, life jacket and brief paddle lesson. We have a limited supply of dry bags you can borrow.

MKC LOCATIONS SUMMARY:

They're kind of shaped like a triangle with MKC @ Jerry's Docks on the south end of Downtown in the Harbor District, MKC @ Schlitz Park on the north end of Downtown and MKC @ Twisted Fisherman just west of the confluence of the Menomonee and Milwaukee Rivers in Downtown Milwaukee.
