We are a full-service Canoe & Kayak company; you can expect not only
    superior service, but service with integrity and excellence.
    We do all the heavy lifting; transporting your boats and launching you.

    Come out and experience one of the best water trails in the area and one of a limited
    number of Class A creeks in Illinois, the Nippersink.  Flatwater Canoe & Kayak Rentals
    encourages you and your friends to Escape for the Experience of this creek, in one of
    our crafts.  This water trail offers a variety of stunning scenic views as well as unique
    wildlife and waterfowl native to northern Illinois.

    We are a hometown business, helping our community understand and observe the
    beauty that is to be found in our own back yards.  We have taken the time to make sure
    your paddle for the adventure is of the highest quality by providing all USA made
    canoes and sit-on-top kayaks.

    Come to Flatwater and get your gear.  Then you'll follow us to Pioneer
    Landing and leave your vehicle.  You'll ride our shuttle to the Keystone
    Launch and help you put-in, then meet you at pickup with a smile to help
    you take out.
