Loveland Canoe & Kayak

Nice outfit.first time out.just a very boring section of the river.the loveland castle view was nice touch.

Great service, friendly, accurately priced, good route. Would recommend. During 2020 pandemic appropriate precautions were taken without being too inconvenient but still keeping staff and guests safe. Props.

These guys deserve 100 stars. Came here from northern Kentucky to purchase a bonafide fishing kayak and they REALLY know their stuff. Mark and Nate were huge helps for a someone trying their hand at kayak fishing. Definitely recommend.

I made a reservation for me, my wife, and our 6 year old son. We signed up for the 10a.m. Group on a Sunday. It was packed with people when we got there - a middle school Cross County team of maybe 60 people had a reservation, too. So it was them, us, and a couple other people. I was wondering if this large group would affect our experience, but it was actually fine. Got there, signed in, got our paddles, and got on the buses with everyone else. They drove us a few miles upriver and dropped us at the riverside, where there were plenty of canoes. It was a self-guided river tour, so from that point we did whatever we wanted. We paddled, stopped, had lunch, paddled, swam, paddled, went to the Loveland Castle, paddled, floated, paddled, floated, and eventually returned the canoe to the rental place. It was really fun and easy. Highly recommend.

As my local Bonafide kayak dealer they are outstanding. The owner, Mark is friendly and very helpful.

We have been a couple of times in the past few years and always ha e a great time. It's definitely beginner friendly and family friendly.

Fine trip. Not friendly staff. When they say no alcohol they mean NO alcohol. They checked our coolers 3 times.

Nice canoe and kayak rental place. You come here to get paddles, vests, and the like. They then bus you to a launch point 5 miles up river and you paddle your way back.

During our visit, the river was very low so we got stuck on rocks a few times. Overall though, we had a good time and the experience is a good one.

It was ok but it would be nice if there were markers letting you know how far you have left to go and also a sign showing where you have gotten back to the docking station because as a first timer I had not a clue and thought the person waiting to help us out the boat was just some weirdo watching people float down the river. ‍️

Awesome experience. I recently purchased a kayak from Loveland Canoe and Kayak and I am very appreciative of the staff's kindness and helpfulness throughout the whole process, especially Mark and Nate. Their helpfulness didn't stop at the sale and they, along with the rest of the staff, spent a lot of time making sure we got out on the water and had a great time. They were so busy when we arrived but never made us, or anyone else we saw, feel like just another customer. Special attention to detail was paid by this store and if you ever want to get into kayaking or canoeing, please stop by here. Best staff with best equipment, hands down.

We had a rather large group of people renting kayaks starting at an access on the little Miami up near Landen, we had at least 8 rented kayaks but for those of us that had our own kayaks we just met them up at the river access and left our vehicle there where they were being shuttled to with the intent of getting drove back up by someone in our party to retrieve our vehicle after we get to Loveland canoe and kayak. Upon arriving at the shoreline at Loveland canoe and kayak, us kayak owners were told that we had to pay $10 just to pull our kayaks on shore! At this point I was extremely frustrated because when we made these plans this was never mentioned when we clearly stated some of us would be bringing our own kayaks, not to mention some of us didn't even have money on us so it would be impossible to pay the fee anyway, which I could almost see paying it if they took my equipment out of the water loaded it up and shuttled us back to the vehicle, but 10 bucks for us just leave them there and go get our own vehicle no way! So unfortunately we had two options, paddle one mile Downriver to a public access or paddle 1/4 Mile upriver to a public park, which is what we did and load up there. I totally get they have to make money to pay for the grounds and such but that's just ridiculous, we had a large group of paying customers with just a couple of us having our own equipment. I wonder if they pay to use the public access upriver when they're making profit?

Excellent service, fair prices, great value for money with a two plus hours of kayaking on little Miami River scenery area. Most recommended for families.

This route is adorable. There are 3 rope swings (so bring a bathing suit and be sure to check the depth of the water) and it passes right by Loveland Castle. If you start down here for your day then you can easily walk to excellent food after.you can park down in the public parking for a full day of activities and fun. The staff is wonderfully helpful and I was able to really enjoy this easy 5 mile route.

My girlfriend and I had a phenomenal time on the river today. The rental staff went out of their way to help us, and the goons were great too getting us in and out of the water. We highly recommend renting from here.

Will never come to this place again! Came yesterday to go canoeing, checked the website before we came, and drove 30 minutes to get there. When we arrived we were told we would have to wait until the next trip because a large group was ahead of us. We agreed and proceeded to fill out the necessary paperwork for our trip. A few moments later a manager approached us and told us that we wouldn't be able to canoe today. We were very disappointed, he was very rude, and offered us nothing for our time wasted. Very disappointed in the customer service of this location.

Awesome livery. Friendly, fun, and all about safety. Love going there and will be back for many more trips.

Mark, Nate, really everyone is so amazing. I had an issue with my Jackson flex drive and these guys went out of their way to take exceptional care of everything. They have lifelong customers!

Went with a school trip through Adventure Crew and had a blast! The staff at Loveland were great when we arrived. Highly recommend.

I’ve spent many summer days enjoying a relaxing paddle down the little Miami river, it couldn’t of been done without the help of Loveland canoe & kayak, everyone is always so willing to help and assist. I would recommend anyone taking a family outing or just wanting to go for an afternoon adventure. It’s also a great option for groups- you will definitely enjoy the experience.

Every year, one of the highlights of our summer is taking our friends out canoeing at Loveland Canoe and Kayak. They have the perfect stretch of river for families to enjoy. As for the location of the shop, there is plenty of parking out and around the building. When you are done with your trip, leave your car where it is and walk over to Ramsey’s or Paxton’s for a drink or head up to one of the rooftop bars above Bishops Quarter or Tano for a drink and food!
