Great wildlife kayak tour on Lake Lodi My first time kayaking on Lake Lodi and Mokelumne River and participating in the women's wildlife tour--it was great. About 15 of us launched our kayaks from the fabulous boat launch--the best I've ever seen--from the dock and paddled for... read more 2 hours on a 4-mile trip. The weather was beautiful, the river wound through vineyards and other beautiful scenery, the guides/staff were great and provided tasty snacks! Couldn't have been better.

This is my favorite kayak shop. They have a really great supply. If they are out, they will do their best to help you to get what ever you need. Great place and super great people here.

The moment I learned Headwaters allows customers to try out kayaks on the water, I signed up. Though I was only able to try out a couple of kayaks (this free event is popular), Taylor, back at the Headwaters shop,... read more was able to complete my shopping goal. She allowed me to take my time, answered all my questions, and made the experience well worth the visit. For a small shop, Headwaters is not short on inventory or patience. Check out their website, their Youtube videos, and their shop. You'll see what I mean. Headwaters knows its stuff. read less

Not a big 5 star review giver......but they earned this one.  For years the city run kayak rentals at Lodi Lake were really a joke.  They had old equipment, no interest and as a result no customers.  The interest in... read more kayaking at the lake has exponentially increased since headwaters has taken over.  It brings people to Lodi and it is providing a positive alternative for our young people, it sure beat video gaming.  My only issue is that I don't have the river to myself anymore 🙂

I just purchased 2 kayaks from them as well.  They were so helpful in helping me find the right boat for me and my wife, which are at opposite ends of the size spectrum.  You can demo as many boats as you want, they are far more concerned about getting you the right setup than they are the sale.  Dan and his staff are all more into kayaking than the are selling and they are successful because they do what they love and are sincere in there  efforts.  Big thumbs up!!  not many shops like this anymore, in any industry. read less

30th Birthday Surprises! Paddle boarding was one of many activities we did on this day in celebration of a 30th Birthday! We had 8 adults and two small children who rode on their parent’s boards!

Serene Night River Kayaking by moonlight is a unique experience. It's relaxing and romantic being on the dark water and getting to see the nature and sights around you as you paddle around.

Went kayaking this time - I normally go stand-up paddleboarding- with a group of friends.

Had a great time with my co-workers! The water was great, weather conditions were perfect, and this was my first time to Kayak (I normally... read more SUP) - would do it again! The equipment was in great shape, we were processed and on the water very fast.

Only complaint world be that I reserved a premium kayak, and although the difference was refunded, I was downgraded to a basic boat. I wanted a better boat since it was my first time. I was not notified until I got there.

This is a great activity for friends, or take the family! Even young kids would have an easy time. It's a tiny bit pricey-  my family of four would have been just a bit under $120 for two hours, more depending on what you rent.

Friendly and helpful staff! read less
