Worked with Travis today looking for accessories for my Nucanoe Unlimited that I plan to rig out for the 2024 fishing season. Travis was great and had a professional approach by asking what I was planning on doing to the kayak and how I planned to rig the kayak instead of making blind recommendations. He went through and showed me how they had the vast majority accessories in stock and assured me he could order in the couple accessories they didn't carry. It was truly a fantastic experience.As for the store itself, it appears to be a true one-stop shop for kayak needs. Not only do they stock numerous brands and models(Oldtown, Bonafide, Native, Nucanoe, Crescent, just to name a few) of Kayaks for diffrent needs (recreational, fishing, etc), but the also carry all the accessories you may need from brands like YakAttack, Yakgadget, NRS, Nucanoe, multiple paddle brands, and more.Based on this interaction I now plan to make the trip out to Rocktown Adventures (90 min) to acquire the rest of the accessories I need instead of purchasing them via Amazon or direct from the manufacturer.

Great experience-- thanks to Kevin and the crew at Rocktown Adventures. We used their kayaking service, and Kevin was super helpful and friendly when expediting us to the drop-off point (Bauman Park) and informing us about how to use and navigate with the kayaks. Took us about 3 hours to paddle the Kishwaukee River where we returned to our car (the bridge at Atwood Park). Two guys from RA greeted us and retrieved the rented kayaks. Gorgeous river with plenty of nice views, calm waters, wildlife (turtles, mallards, geese, herons, cranes--maybe?), and an impressively tall bridge for the I-39 crossing that spans the river. Their kayaks seemed fairly new and in good condition as were the lifejackets and paddles. Quite an enjoyable and relaxing afternoon. Seems as if they offer other adventures and apparel/items related to the outdoors. Check them out.

We had the most remarkable experience at Rocktown Adventures and we couldn't be more impressed. From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was inviting and the service was impeccable. Kevin goes above and beyond to ensure every customer feels valued. It's clear that he has a true passion for what he does, and it reflects in every aspect of the business. We were not only impressed with the top-notch products and services offered but also his genuine warmth and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend Rocktown Adventures.

My fiance booked stand-up paddle boarding classes as a new fun activity. The whole experience from start to finish was wonderful. As my fiance seamlessly learned how to paddle board, I was struggling. However, our instructor, John, made it a great first time experience. He definitely eased my nerves, encouraged me and helped me the entire time. He made it fun and really helped me improve my strokes and confidence. Towards the end of the class, I was standing up on the board!! John had great energy and was very upbeat! I highly recommend the class (especially with John) if you want to learn how SUP. Thank you!!!

My wife and I spent were in pursuit of a Crescent fishing kayak. Rocktown was closest retailer to our home so we made the trek with our two kids. The trek (1.5 hour drive)…absolutely worth it! Great conversation, sharing everything they are passionate about, and as a dad, amazing interaction with our kids. Needless to say we are now all ready for Wisconsin waters this spring! We will make this trip for our next kayak purchase no doubt!

I attended a cross country intro class on 02/04/23 and absolutely loved it! Kevin made it fun and achievable for us all. We had people of varying levels of experience and he worked alongside all of us, meeting us exactly where we were at. By the end of the class, everyone had had a great time and was glad they had signed up and showed up. Highly recommend Kevin and his services to anyone interested!

Happily writing a five star review for Rocktown Adventures. Travis and Paul at Rocktown were the best! They got us into the right kayak along with the right amount of gear to start. We drove about an hour an a half from Oak Park, IL and it was well worth the trip. Big thanks to Rocktown Adventures, Paul and Travis.

Ordered kayaks online for pickup at the store. Received everything as described upon arrival. The staff offered a level of expertise and knowledge beyond expectations. Friendly dogo' to play fetch with in the store was an added bonus. Highly recommend visiting their online store but suggest a visit to the brick and mortar for a better understanding of each piece of equipment. Full line of clothing and accessories available make a trip to the store worth it.

This is a great small business. This was our 2nd time buying from them. They are knowledgeable, helpful, low pressure, and all around nice to deal with.
