Traverse City Kayak, Bike, SUP Rentals + Tours

ESCAPING THE ORDINARY

KAYAK, BIKE, STAND UP PADDLEBOARD RENTALS

On the shores of West Grand Traverse Bay, in Clinch Park (one of Northern Michigan’s most popular beaches with 1,500 feet of sandy beach) sits Paddle TC. Paddle TC rents what you need as the water and trails of Northwest Michigan beckon the outdoor enthusiast in you. You may be looking for Traverse City kayak rentals or a stand up paddleboard (SUP) to explore the beautiful blue waters of the bay or negotiate the bends and curves of the Boardman River as it meanders its way through the historic downtown business district of Traverse City. Perhaps your adventurous spirit is yearning for a bike to devour some of the TART Trails (over 60 miles of regional biking trails) that wind their way through downtown Traverse City, with all of its restaurants, gift shops, breweries, and art galleries, connecting with trails that carve their way along lakeshores, farmland and woodland offering up unparalleled vistas of vineyards, wineries, and endless lake views.

Paddle TC’s mission is to encourage others to be outside, active, and create lifelong memories. Let us know how we can do that for you.

DELIVERY

Paddle TC is located in beautiful downtown Traverse City (A.K.A.Paradise), but we’ll deliver kayaks, stand-up paddleboards (SUP), or bikes virtually anywhere in Northern Michigan within a 30-minute drive from our downtown location.
