How it works and what to expect

At PRS Watersports, we make kayaking easy and convenient by delivering high-quality OLD TOWN kayaks to water access points throughout the Lake Country area. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing paddle on a calm lake or looking for adventure along the Bark River or Oconomowoc River, we’ve got you covered.

  With our new “Lock & Go” service, renting is quicker and easier than ever. Reserve your equipment for a set time, and we’ll have it ready at the launch site. You can either meet us in person or unlock it yourself. When you’re done paddling, return the equipment and lock it back up—it’s that simple.
