    Fun and friendly!

    We had a great time using Hughes Outdoors equipment! Staff was friendly and helpful getting us in and out of the water. Will definitely be renting from them again this summer!

    Fun, Relaxing and Beautiful Scenary

    Had a great experience with Hughes Outdoors. The staff was friend and launching and returning the kayaks couldn't have been easier. The beautiful scenery north of Howard Road was a surprise of beauty and the paddle to Osprey platforms was relaxing and gentle. Alum Creek has no current. Can't wait to return.
