Testimonials

Being a lifelong kayaker from Maine, I know the ins and outs of a paddle board and kayak facility. This has it all! Every employee was helpful and honest. Beautiful facility, high quality boats and paddle boards, it checks all the boxes! From someone who’s paddled around in many places, this is a truly premier establishment on the beautiful Cayuga Lake!

Finally a really fun time in Ithaca on the lake, fun kayaking with paddle Ithaca - they were welcoming and gracious and tried their best to be helpful. The lake was calm - perfect weather. The kayak felt brand new and easy to balance. It made a really terrific day. Can’t wait to come back to this …now my favorite activity… Thanks to the engaging staff.

Had the most wonderful experience at Paddle Ithaca! I had a lovely conversation with the manager who was extremely knowledgeable about the boats and the inlets. Great price, great weather, great staff, great equipment. Will be back for sure and would absolutely recommend 🙂

This was my first time going to PaddleIthaca, and the staff was amazing! Very welcoming feel and area. I rented a top kayak, and all of the equipment was in great shape and was in clean/ready condition. Along with the great service and equipment, they also provided me with a life jacket, map of the lake, complimentary water, and a dry bag! Overall a great experience, I will be coming again, and they hold true to kind, caring, and helpful values!

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a truly hospitable experience! We are just passing through Ithaca for a few days and our time on the lake has been a highlight. The staff were so helpful and showed us the natural beauty Ithaca has to offer, couldn't have asked for better service.
