Traders Bar and Grill with Tackers Canoe Rental

Rental Information and Pricing

We have over 120 canoes, as well as tandem out-fitted canoes, kayaks and inner tubes. We also have four buses for prompt drop-off and pickup service at numerous locations up and down the Lower Wisconsin River Way.

We offer a variety of trips, including both paddle back and shuttle service.

Paddle Back: We take you, your canoe and equipment on a bus to a specified, upstream launching point and help you launch. You spend your time enjoying a canoe trip down river and when you arrive back at Trader's, all you have to do is dock. You're already back where you parked your car so you can just get up and go, or feel free to spend some time at our bar and grill enjoying a meal or a drink.

Shuttle service: We help you launch directly from Trader's and you enjoy a canoe trip down river to the specified destination. Once you have arrived, we pick you and your equipment up with one of our many busses and drive you back to your vehicle at Trader's. At that time you can jump in your car and go, or feel free to spend some time at our bar and grill enjoying a meal or a drink.
