Kayak Rentals

Explore the Roanoke River at Your Own Pace

Kayak Rentals offer a peaceful and flexible way to experience the Roanoke River during the Black Bear Festival. This self-guided activity allows visitors to paddle along the waterfront, take in scenic views, and enjoy the natural beauty of Plymouth from the water.

Launching from the dock behind the Port O’ Plymouth Museum, kayakers can explore the river at their own pace throughout the day. Hosted by Cross Trail Outfitters, this activity is perfect for those looking for a quiet, hands-on way to enjoy the river while taking a break from the busy festival atmosphere.

Tickets available at launch site.
