Jordan Valley Outfitters offers the most, in choices for family paddling on the Jordan River and surrounding waterways.  Explore the Jordan River by canoe, kayak, raft and float tube in Northern Michigan's scenic Jordan Valley.  We are proud to offer the finest rental canoes and kayaks from Old Town, Mad River and Ocean Kayak for your paddling enjoyment.

The river is calling, the weather is great, call us to plan your paddle trip on the Jordan River or an area lake.  We offer a variety of river trips, scenic lake paddling as well as day or weekly rentals for your cottage.  This north woods experience is great for the entire family from 3 to 90 years young.  Come renew yourself with a relaxing trip down Michigan's first "wild and scenic" river.  We are close enough for a day trip, or stay locally and explore the famous Jordan Valley and the memories will last a lifetime.

Looking for something different?  Join us for a full moon paddle trip ending on the South Arm of Lake Charlevoix complete with bonfire, hotdogs, s'mores and a cold drink.  This will surely be a great family memory of star gazing and sharing some campfire stories too.

Our friendly staff is ready to assist you in planning a memorable paddling trip or purchasing a canoe or kayak.

We love this valley and the river that runs through it.  During our slow time, you may just see us in a canoe, kayak or raft on the river, or hiking on one of the many trails the valley has to offer.  We are here to help you plan and enjoy your next adventure, so stop by, email or call for assistance.

We were the first outfitter on the Jordan River to operate under the special use permit authorized by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources adopted in 2006.  Our equipment is inspected annually by the Charlevoix County Sheriff's Department Marine Division.
