WHERE IT ALL
STARTED

Tucked behind our flagship shop, the Contoocook River flows steady and quiet — a paddler’s dream.

This is where the story began in 1997, and it remains the heart of what we do. Whether you’re cruising for an afternoon or paddling the full 9 miles, Concord offers the most complete experience: rentals, sales, expert guidance, and the warm hospitality we’re known for.
