Best thing we have done all summer! Bus drops you off on Irondequoit creek and you travel four miles downstream....so peaceful and beautiful!
Business response:
Thanks for the review! So glad you loved it. We hope you come back soon!
Ken was fantastic to work with! He helped my husband and I find the perfect kayaks. I highly recommend Bay Creek to anyone in the market for a kayak :)
Business response:
Thank you so much for the review, Carin! We are so happy we found a good fit for you and your husband and we hope you have many years of paddling with your new kayaks! Come back and see us sometime!
Great race nights, rentals and instructions! I rent kayaks usually and just go out into the wetlands! Great wildlife to be seen, and very relaxing!
Business response:
Thanks, Chris! You'd better be back to race next year!
We were looking to upgrade and Morgan was very helpful answering all our questions and having us try out several models. The BEST place to go. Thanks Morgan
LOVED the lesson with SUP today! I've paddleboarded a few times before but my boyfriend was new to it. We both took the SUP lesson they offer and it was wonderful! Nathan was a great instructor and guide. The time out on the boards was excellent and time to challenge yourself and play around! Def plan to fall in , whether intended or not ! highly recommend this place ! Experienced or beginner !
Business response:
Thanks, Aimee! We really appreciate hearing your feedback and we will make sure to pass on your compliments to Nathan. Hope to see you back for SUP Intermediate!
Super awesome people. Great place! I bought the perfect SUP there!!!
Great place to find peace in nature. Great staff. Very polite. Loved it.
Business response:
David, thanks so much for your kind comments. You said it so well - "a great place to find peace in nature". The first time I paddled it over 20 years ago, that's exactly how I felt - couldn't believe it was here in the middle of Rochester. It's easy to love we do here at BayCreek and we hope it shows. Please come back and visit us again. - Ken
Great service even for the novive. Took my 11 year old grandson. Nana and Ayden loved it.
Business response:
Dear Maribeth, aka Nana, We are delighted to hear you had a nice time. It's wonderful to get the little ones away from their electronics for a while and let them experience the great outdoors. Please bring Ayden back again next season. Maybe he'd like to try a paddleboard. :-) My 11-year-old grandson likes the surf skis.
A must to see this unique landscape part of Rochester and where the first port use to be via Tryon Park. Moved later to high falls to save horses from steep climb out to upper street.
Business response:
Scott, you clearly know your history. I don't think we do enough at BayCreek to inform folks of just how historically significant Irondequoit Creek is. I especially like to think of the 4 times the renowned explorer, LaSalle, brought canoes up the creek to Indian Landing in Ellison Park. I keep looking for ways to use our 11 person war canoe to teach young families about the creek's history. Thanks for the kind review. Ken
