“I was parked up across the street next to the old railway station and only came in here for a little gander after I had finished my bike ride out of curiosity more than anything else but what a wonderful little store. I ended up buying a t-shirt, pair of shorts and a fridge magnet but could have bought a whole load more. There are plenty of water sports products, camping, bikes, outdoor, clothing and much much more. The staff, I assume it’s a family owned shop were very friendly and helpful along with the lovely chocolate Labrador Duncan who was clearly running the show ;-) Just been back in 2025 and bought a new jacket and fridge magnet. Same friendly staff but Duncan wasn’t there today :-( Had to make do with the new Bigfoot outside.”
— Brian Muir“Super friendly and accommodating staff. Fun store to check out if you are an outdoorsy kind of person. They also rent kayaks and possibly bikes in the summer. There is a fun hang out area outside with corn hole and a pond. Will definitely check it out again in the summer!”
— Evan and Lauren“My husband and I had the BEST experience here. We were referred to WaterDog by several people and finally decided to make the 2 hour trip out there. It was worth every second of our time. We ended up purchasing the Crescent CK2 Venture for our family and we can’t wait to get it out on the water and go on adventures. Steven and Ava went above and beyond at answering our questions and addressing our concerns. To even top it off, Steven made sure our Crescent was safely tied down to our vehicle so we make our drive home. It gave me every piece of mind that I needed. Cheers to new things and big thanks to WaterDog Outfitters.”
— Jessica Bracamontes“These guys are super helpful and knowledgeable. They had the Old Town PDL kayak I had researched in stock. They even held the kayak a few days so I could switch vehicles to bring it home. When I picked it up, they let my wife test out a couple kayaks in the pond and we found the right one for her too! The staff also helped show me the best way to tie down the kayaks on my vehicle! When my son is ready for a new kayak, we will be back!”
