Wisconsin Canoe Company

First, I’ll echo the other positive reviews. All gear is in good shape. Logistics are very simple. They take care of your canoe, life vest, paddles and shuttle, and you take care of the rest.
Second, I’ll explain why this company excels. We took a large group trip over a busy summer weekend. There were a couple of issues, both of which were our (the customers’) fault. The employees fixed everything. Here’s what happened:
1) Some of our drivers arrived late. The way it works is, we drop off people and gear at the boat launch and then drive to the end point and parking lot in Spring Green. WCC then shuttles drivers back to the launch. A few of our drivers were late, but WCC staggered the shuttles and waited to make sure that they could shuttle everyone over. No complaining or lecturing, they just did it, even though it was our fault that we were late.
2) Our trip leader made a mistake and booked the wrong launch point. All of our people and gear were at one launch point (the one we thought we booked) while WCC was taking our driver and canoes to another launch point (the one we actually booked). Once this mistake was discovered, WCC immediately volunteered to drive our canoes and drivers from the correct launch point to our incorrect, but preferred, launch point. Again, customer’s fault, but they happily took care of it and got us on the river ASAP.

Last weekend, my wife and I had the opportunity to take a trip via the Wisconsin Canoe Company, along with two other couples, and we had an amazing time. This was in large part thanks to the laid-​back professionalism that this canoe outfitter exudes. The staff was well-​organized at both the launch site and end site, and they were extremely friendly to everyone involved.
I highly recommend Wisconsin Canoe Company, and my group is excited to make this a yearly trip! Thanks for the great memories!

I took a group of teens from a camp for kids w/​cancer. WCC was phenomenal! 1. Drop off was right on time. 2. We under budgeted for water but they took care of it by dropping off three 7 gallon jugs two launched down river. 3. One of our girls w hearing aides accidentally left her backpack (aides in it) and sleeping bag at the take out. We didn’t realize it until later that day when we were unloading back at camp (2.5 hrs away). I called and WCC came to the rescue (after their business had closed for the night). The following day we met up for the exchange in Madison!
If your lookin’ for great people and great equipment, look no further. This is where it’s at!

For the second year running, my friends and I have used WCC to do an 18 miler on the river. The equipment is in good shape, the people are friendly, punctual (which I absolutely love), open to giving suggestions, and just able to make the whole trip as painless and fun as possible.
This really is a great outfitter for a trip of any size.

Once again Wisconsin Canoe Company Delivers!!! I have used them twice now, and would not use anyone else. They keep you posted on the river conditions prior to your trip, their employees are very nice and informative, they are on time with the shuttle service and most of all… the owners are just Great People!
Look no where else for a canoe rental company… trust me!

Went with this canoe company last summer, and just booked our second trip. Great business, super easy to get everything you need, and very helpful.

We could not have had a better experience with Wisconsin Canoe Company. Equipment was superb. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Prices are fair.
We have used them twice and have had a blast both times. The river is truly stunning. My friends and I hope to go back again this summer.
This is exactly what a small business should be.

My mom, son, daughter and I had a great time. The kayaks were perfect, the river was beautiful and sandy, and the service was fantastic. We were fortunate enough to spot a bald eagle on our trip as well — bonus

Our group of 12 went on the 10 mile trip last weekend. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We drove up from Chicago and were 20 minutes late, but the staff was kind enough to have a a bus pick up the late group to the landing site. The equipment was all new and we loved the 80’s themed names for the different canoes.
We’ll definitely come back next year and thank the Schmudlachs for such a smooth, friendly, no-​hassle process that helped us close out our summer with the bang!

My girlfriend and I just came back from a weekend «away from it all» with our 4-​month-​old pup and the experience we had with Wisconsin Canoe Company was the best that we have ever had. The equipment looked brand new, the staff was extremely friendly and informative and the river is the cleanest and most scenic I’ve been on for a trip like this. We will definitely be going back to do the overnight camping trip– WCCo has turned us into life-​long customers!

Great outfitter. Clean, nice boats that are in great shape. Staff is so friendly and helpful. Website is a breeze to use. I have used many other outfitters over the years and Wisconsin Canoe Company is superior to all others — by far!

Great service, friendly people, top-​notch equipment, and an excellent experience. Highly recommended.

So much fun and relaxing. Would absolutely be willing to go again!

Another great trip on the books for 2013. You would be a fool to use anyone but Wisconsin Canoe Company!

My boyfriend and I took a 10-​mile day canoe trip this past weekend and it was great. The guy that picked us up at the end point (where you leave your car) was hilarious and really chill. Very nice and knowledgeable. He set us up with the proper equipment and life jackets and even gave us a laminated map to help guide us. Great outfitter and we will use them again.

These guys are the best. They’re exactly what an outfitter should be in that they care about you having a good time above all else. Definitely would recommend. Also the river is beautiful… so thats cool.

Second year with this canoeing outfit. Different trips each year but both well run and very enjoyable. This year, we did a day trip from Arena to Peck’s Landing. On this trip, I liked how you drove your car to the end of the route and then shuttled from there to the beginning. That way, when you come off the river, you just jump in your car and go – no waiting for a shuttle, no long ride back to a parking lot. Loved the trip’s optional «check-​in» point at Woody’s – good little convenience store with nice local brews.
See you next year.

These guys are awesome. They love what they do and it shows.
I like the fact that they will provide shuttle service if you bring your own canoe or kayak whereas other outfitters either get fussy or flat out refuse. They want everyone to enjoy themselves.
I asked if they could put me in at Blackhawk Landing rather than Prairie du Sac to which they were very accommodating. Very much appreciate it.
They really set the mood for a river trip: mellow, no-​hassles, relaxed, no screw ups.
Ryan and his team are the best outfitters in the area. Period.

Such a great place! Everything that you need to know can be found on their website and you can make reservations there for both the canoe and the shuttle.
They’ll shuttle you to the start and then when you get back you can just pull the canoe ashore and leave at your leisure. A great time.

Love them! Started off at the store, it sold alcohol. Big plus. The bus driver guy was very nice and outgoing, which was another plus.
This was my first canoe-​ing (?) experience, and I can’t wait to go again.
