Great experience overall. Debbie help me out from start to finish and she was great. She talked me into up buying and the decision is well worth it. True small business and locally/national source products.

What a great experience!! We stopped here looking for a kayak for my husband and left with everything he needed: kayak, pfd, paddle, transportation accessories. Extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating!

My best friend and I went here on a whim. I’m so happy we did because it was an awesome experience. We rented a double kayak for $60 until 6PM. It was my first time and I had a lot of questions. Natures Way was very reassuring and answered all of my concerns. The lady there was very empowering, she gave me confidence in lifting the kayak, and securing it on top of my car. She was very informative step by step. Thank you so much, we will definitely be returning here and recommend to EVERYONE!

Best shopping experience ever ! I initially thought no business can have all 5 star reviews until I stopped here to talk with Bill. Nature’s Way is the complete package. Extremely knowledgeable, very low pressure and great communication. Just as important to me is that Bill and his wife are dog lovers and I always trust people who love their dogs.If you are looking for a canoe or kayak to buy or rent, stop by and talk with them. You will soon realize why they have perfect reviews from everyone.

My wife "D", dog Jack and I had probably the best customer service ever with Bill and company. Bills goal was simply... that we fully enjoy our paddle experience and ensured that we both had the kayaks that fit us perfectly on levels that I personally never even considered important. In sum, do not hesitate as these kayaks are going fast...

Bill is a great guy, very knowledgeable and super friendly. My husband and I purchased 2 paddles and some leashes from him and plan to go back ASAP for a kayak and roof rack. He even installs the racks and shows you how its done! Great customer service

There is a reason this place has so many 5 star reviews. Bill is an avid paddler himself and is super knowledgeable about everything there is to know about canoes and kayaks.He took an hour to educate us on kayaks and canoes and took a few out for us to sit in and get a feel for them. He is not a pushy sales man at all - if anything he will not sell you something thats not a good fit for you.Oh and he also teaches paddling classes if you need training.Support local business and have a good time doing it!

In the age of big box stores, Bill's place is a welcomed change. He suited my car with a rack + installation and took the time to fit the right high quality kayaks for me and my girl. Good prices, great service and an awesome dog.

I wasn't ready to buy yet, but wanted to learn about my options and Nature's Way (although starting to close up for the night) was SO helpful and friendly in showing me what my options were at my skill level...even when it started to pour! I really appreciated the expertise and would recommend them to anyone - beginner to advance paddler.***UPDATE*** Went back the next day after narrowing down my search, and was on the water in my brand new kayak 2 hours later!! Awesome people, super helpful, great experience. Highly recommend Nature's Way!

Bill and his crew are amazing! I had the urge to go kayaking this morning and I was able to rent two kayaks for the entire day. Great service, great prices, and so easy to rent and get on the water! Thanks so much. Will be back again very soon!!!

Bill saved me today!After discovering that no retail store within 100 miles had adult life vests in stock, I called Nature's Way to try my luck. Bill answered the phone and told me though he was only open on Saturday and Sunday, he coincidentally had an appointment today and could have me stop by to buy one!I'm always more than happy to support local businesses, and Bill is a shining example of why. I was in and out within 10 minutes with the right PFD for my kayaking needs, after he helped fit me to the perfect one. I noticed while I was in there he's got tons of other accessories for your water sporting needs, so I would highly recommend stopping by here if you need anything from your own PFD, a paddle/oar, or some waterproof gear.And, of course -- he's got an impressive selection of kayaks and canoes, and seems to be an expert on both!

This place was amazing! I wanted to purchase a kayak for a while but did not want to go to some large corporate store. I came across Nature's Way on 563. The people were so friendly and helpful. They assisted me with finding a kayak perfect for my interests/body type, buying foam blocks and straps to secure the kayak on my car and were funny and honest the entire time. I would highly recommend them (and already have) :)

Nature’s Way is underrated. Although it’s not directly on the lake, the worker, Bill, was more than happy to strap our kayaks on our cars. He gave us a map to direct us to the lake. He’s a personal guy and willing to call anytime.

We met Bill and he was the best! So kind and funny, we rented canoes for the day and had the best time, transported the canoes ourselves and Bill helped us out, perfect day on the water (which was only about a one minute drive) definitely recommend!!

This place has so much more than kayaks. Paddleboards are in high demand. This is the place to get them! They also sell a ton of accessories to go with these watersports. Also, the staff is super knowledgeable about their products. I bought 2 kayaks their. I'd buy there again in a heartbeat!!

Bill is really knowledgeable and willing to share. Planning on taking lesson soon. Heard his prices on new kayaks are below MSRP. Cheap prices to rent kayak for the day.

Top Notch service. Bill is very knowledgable and takes his time to show you all of your options. Far better experience than any big box store. Only place I will be going for all of my paddling needs

We researched, we shopped, we found our Old Town Saranac Canoe at Nature's Way Canoe and Kayak. Bill and Deb could not have been more helpful and informative. They were patient with us first timers. What a great experience Thank you !!

This might be a small business, but they have a full complement of kayaks, paddles and life jackets (including many for dogs).Low key, no pressure and very competent and friendly.

Just a warning; do not believe the website when it says this place is open. Did a 40 minute drive there today to possibly buy a kayak only to arrive to find it closed. Website says it's open. What a waste of our time on a Sunday.
