Welcome To The Kayak Shack

We hope you visit us at our retail shop in New York's Adirondacks on the shore of Lake Champlain. Located 1 hour from Montreal and Burlington Vt. in Plattsburgh NY, we have the largest selection of quality kayaks and gear to get anyone on the water. Lessons and tours are also our specialty. We continue to make our site into the most useful online resource for paddling the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain. By the way we have some SUPER hot deals on new boats and gear, and also have a good selection of clearance, and used boats available. Trade-ins are welcome!

See our 2010 boats including our new boats from Boreal Designs, and we also have probably the only 2 Whiskey 16's by point 65N on the east coast. This boat was recently fetured in kayaker magazine as being the best in it's class ever!

Website updates include our Blog. We welcome contributions here, as well as a weather page complete with radar, wind and wave forecast, and more.

Check out our new weather links (above right).
