2026 marks the tenth season that Plainwell Kayak Company has been in business. We work hard to provide great service so that our guests can enjoy the beauty of the Kalamazoo River. Our equipment is cleaned between users, life jackets are sanitized to give you peace of mind when you slip it on!
We employ area high school and college students. They learn how to deal with the public and work together as a team. The job seems fun but these students must think about how many life jackets, paddles, and type of kayaks are on the trailers with each group we take out. They also have to have a large enough vehicle to pick people up when hosting guests on the family trip. This is usually their first job and they all have done well, we are so proud of our employees.
We will strive to develop a business that is safe, affordable, dependable, and of course fun to deal with. We welcome your suggestions as we continue to hone the operations of the Plainwell Kayak Company. Our customers are so understanding and helpful; we thank you for your encouragement and suggestions.
