Don't drive past this place...
I want to give everyone looking for an outfitter to rent gear from or purchase gear from some advise;don't pass by Endless River Adventures!
I had passed many times over the years because they are "way up there on that hill". Last July I was shopping for yet another used kayak, and followed my normal routine. I drove from Cartersville, Georgia to the Ocoee river to check the outfitter's store there and then to that big 'ol place down at the end of the Nantahala River to see what was available in the way of used/demo boats to purchase. I decided to drive back to Tennessee to buy a used boat, and as I drove by Ken's Endless River Adventures sign with the red kayak attached I decided to drive up the hill for my first time to see what was available. To my surprise Ken made my dream of buying a new kayak possible, for a little less than I was going to pay for a used boat. You see, that is what happens when the owner of the strore works right behind the counter, and knows the business inside out. At Endless river Adventures you can deal directly with the owner which I was not able to do at either place I stopped at earlier, and that was the magic ingredient.
As well, in August of this year, we were shown the same professionalism when my family needed to rent and self guide a raft down the river. Excellent customer service from the staff, the best of equipment, even the shuttle van was top notch.
See for yourself! Don't pass these guys by!
