“I had a great morning kayaking on the Tar River thanks to Riverside Recreation Rentals. I put in at Town Commons and paddled to Wildwood. I plan to paddle to Port Terminal next time I visit. Javon is the best! He set things up nicely and answered all of my questions. Lots of beautiful wildlife and scenery. I will be a repeat customer, be bringing friends, and recommending them to everyone!”
