Paddlefest 2018-Great fun! I had never kayaked and Paddlefest seemed like it would be the perfect opportunity; Headwaters did an amazing job! They had a wide array of kayaks available to demo without a bit of hassle and knowledgeable & helpful staff as... read more well. It was so much fun! The lake is calm & relatively shallow so even newbies like me could paddle with confidence.There were other folks of all ages having a great time too. Nice music and food trucks rounded out the experience. It was obvious that although it must have taken a lot of work and planning to get everything set up, running smoothly & ultimately dismantled at the end of the day it was a labor of love for these folks. I visited the Headwaters Kayak Shop on North Kluff Ave. in Lodi last weekend; Bill helped me and answered my many questions with patience and an obvious passion for water sports. I'll be returning soon to buy my first kayak from them:) read less

Great day for a paddle on the Lake Great staff and easy process to rent. We brought our own Kayaks and rented for a friend and her son. Easy paddle - very fun and yet relaxing too. Great to be outside!

Mother's Day float My son and I went on the Mother's Day float and had a great time. It was peaceful, relaxing, and fun. Be sure to bring sunscreen and bug spray, we got eaten up by the mosquitos!

Amazing Had a great family day on Lodi Lake. Reserving Kayak's and the fun and helpful people at the boathouse made our day. Looking forward to our next adventure.

Pretty much the best Kayak Shop in the planet!!! Unbelievably nice and knowledgeable, they walk the walk. I drove 600 miles round trip to Headwaters Kayak Shop and it was worth every minute and dollar. Thank you guys!!!!

I was introduced to this store by my boyfriend who wanted to spark some interest in me to do something fun with my life besides working and taking life too serious.  When we went to Lodi Lake for the Paddle... read more Fest a few Saturdays ago, we were able to enjoy some kayaking on the lake by trying out several varieties of kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and corresponding paddle styles.  There was so much to choose from and we were given expert advise from the employees that were waiting on hand to assist visitors.    

After our afternoon of fun, we drove a short distance to where the Headwaters Kayak Shop was located.  The store was jam packed with everything necessary for water fun including the appropriate sports attire!  Kayaks were our main focus.  They have many styles, colors and sizes to select from to match any individual's preference.  Needless to say we found some favorites and put them on our wish list!  Now, saving up for these purchases will be another serious goal I will have to strive for!

Full Moon tour Loved the tour. Guide wasn’t informative but did keep a look out for us. The water was calm & nice we were the only ones on it. One of the best experiences I’ve had w/that lake.

Great shop with excellent customer service Dan and the guys at the shop took care of me and got me in and out of there with what I wanted

SUP Yoga It was great time and I had so much fun! I learned how to paddle a paddle board and how to do yoga while on a lake! It was a great evening

Paddle Fest 2018 My daughter and I had a great time. Where else can you demo 100 kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards for $10? The staff was more than helpful and knowledgeable.

What a great shop. We wanted  2 Pau Hanna paddle boards. The boards had to be ordered. But the timeframes provided were accurate and the staff was helpful. We were willing to drive down from Fair Oaks because they seemed... read more like the most knowledgeable and straightforward of any shop we spoke to. I'm glad we made the drive. They got us the gear we needed and our boards set up so that they were ready to hit the water.  We even ended up purchasing to kayaks in addition to the boards. They were helpful, knowledgeable, loaded everything for us, and set us up with everything we needed. But they did not oversell. Everyone was friendly and easy to work with. After taking everything out on the water my wife and I are more than satisfied with our purchases and looking forward to a spring/summer on the water. read less
