Kayak Rentals & Paddleboards

Solstice Outdoors is your rental headquarters on the bay for stand up paddleboards and recreation kayaks. We are conveniently located on Highway 2, Lake Shore Drive, in Ashland on Lake Superior's Chequamegon Bay. We have great boats for experiencing the calmer waters of Chequamegon Bay or any of our local inland lakes. Please note that we do not have sea kayaks which are recommended for the open waters of Lake Superior.

Our Location

We are located at the head of Chequamegon Bay in the Blue Wave building, literally feet from Lake Superior. Our private sandy beach and shallow water is usually pretty warm (by Lake Superior standards) makes for a fun half day or full day experience.

Our Equipment

We offer Surftech paddleboards and Ocean Kayak sit on top kayaks, PFDs and paddles. Our recreational kayak fleet is top notch as well. If we wouldn’t paddle it or sell it, we wouldn’t rent it.

All rentals are first come, first serve. If you want to be guaranteed a board or kayak, we recommend that you call ahead to reserve a boards or kayaks 715.682.3590 or email us at reservations@solsticeoutdoorstore.com
