Quality Kayaks and Good Service Wow griggstown is the place to be if you want to rent water sport rentals. The stafff here knows there stuff and you can learn all about the products they rent by going on the internet. They also have classes on how to use the rentals as long as pointers if you are a more advanced type of person. All in all the prices were great, smooth experience.

Off the beaten 'tow' path Griggstown canoe is a great place to rent a canoe or kayak and explore the eastern section of the Delaware and Raritan Canal. You are just outside New Brunswick, but you might feel like you've been transported to another era somewhere in the forgotten countryside. The canal is the best place to take a child on their first canoe or kayak trip as there are no hazards and the flow is super slow. There are historical sites, including locks, tender's houses and a nearby Somerset County Park all to stop b... read more

Friendly and helpful staff, easy to prepay and pick up the equipment and get into the water. My family and I enjoyed a nice, quiet morning on the canal.

I was on... read more

Had fun canoeing with my kiddoes today. Rented 2 2 seater canoe, 1 for my 2 girls 10&12 and 1 for me and my 2toddlers who sat in front as my “navigator”😂. There were a lot of people but was good spacing. When we got out of the water, I then realized that my wallet fell off my pocket while busy canoeing and watching the kids. I told the guys, looks back walking on the path but didn’t go far and decided to give up but told the guys to call if it miraculously comes up. And so, lil over 2 hrs I got a call. They found it floatin... read more

What an awesome morning. Great, affordable family fun. My boys were first timers, and had a blast. They can’t wait to go back and paddle the other side of the canal.
