BEST PLACE EVER!! These guys are awesome!! Not only do they have amazing customer service, but the prices were just right for all the fun we had!! Definitely will be back again in the future. This by far was the easiest business to rent us paddle boards, they even help you pick out the right life vest and help you get on your paddle board or kayak. Thanks you guys, keep up the amazing work!
My wife and I were shopping for paddle boards, so stopped in at l2 outside. We were met by very friendly owners Steve and Deb, and decided that we would enjoy the evening sunset tour to test out the paddle boards on the Chattanooga River. What a joy! Steve was great at helping us think through paddle board options. He was very honest and helped us think about things that would work for our interest. No hard sale. They had a good selection of Bote cardboard and inflated paddle boards and docks and accessories. We really enjoyed talking with them about the area. They are great people! The sunset tour with Lynn was superb! We are beginners at paddle boarding, but everyone we dealt with were super supportive and instructive. Before we came back in we were both standing and paddling and had had a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful and the sunset was gorgeous. We look forward to visiting them again.
My family of 3 took a Friday night Sunset Tour last week with Jacob as our guide & we had an AMAZING experience! We rented 2 single kayaks & a SUP for our daughter & took our new rescue dog, Whiskey, along for his first trip out on the water. Jacob was very knowledgeable, patient, & encouraging to those who were apprehensive in the group. He enabled everyone to have a great time without once feeling rushed or unsafe. We loved visiting the island, trying our skill walking the tight rope over the water, watching great blue herons & catching a glimpse of the river otter. Hands down the best memories we made in CHA & there were many!
We had an awesome time out on the river this past Saturday! It was our first time on paddle boards and after watching the safety video and getting some tips from the staff before heading out we felt fully prepared. Highly recommend renting from L2 when in Chattanooga, great staff, great value and great experience!
My 8 year old daughter and I did a private paddle board excursion with Jacob. We had an excellent time. Jacob was patient and accommodating when my daughter was uncomfortable paddling her own board and wanted to hop on mine! He was knowledgeable about the sport and explained turning, paddling, etc very well. We felt comfortable on the water but also safe. When we come back to Chattanooga we will definitely rent from L2 again. Kudos!
Wonderful experience start to finish. Great staff. Quality products. We rented a paddle board two days then loved it so much we bought one.
Such a wonderful time! Online booking was convenient and efficient; had a little difficulty finding the launch due to user error but was quickly helped after a call to the main store. Everyone was helpful and kind; we had no problems and a lovely day.
Great tour! Kat (the manager) was awesome to work with and helped us set up our reservation up last minute. And Jacob was a great host on the water! Would def recommend to anyone who is looking for a fun time on the river.
Our experience was terrific. We did the Sunset Tour on paddle boards. The equipment was in great shape and the staff was very friendly and helpful. No complaints.
I hadnt been kayaking since I was a kid and it was awesome to get back into it. The people who supplied our kayak and life jackets were extremely friendly and helpful with my million questions. I will definitely be doing that again.
Easy access as well as affordable! You don’t have to pick up anything. You just show up to the river and all the equipment is waiting there for you! The workers are nice and helpful as well!
We had a great time kayaking the Tennessee River with L2!! Very easy to access to launch site, friendly and knowledgeable staff, great prices!
They were great all around and very knowledgeable and helpful and just chill about everything!From the first call with Kat to schedule, then to reschedule and then Jacob and Marcus getting us into the river. They seem to genuinely enjoy what theyre doing. Marcus was great at making us comfortable on the paddle boards for our first time and he was a lifesaver getting OUT of the water at the end! LolI highly recommend L2 Outside for great outdoor experience in Chattanooga.
LOVE L2! The staff is top notch--so knowledgeable and courteous. Ive already booked twice, and plan on booking again soon. They were so accommodating and patient when my friends and I needed lots of assistance getting ourselves situated and feeling confident. Feeling so thankful to have found them!
We had a great time paddleboarding. We made reservations in June but cancelled due to poor weather. L2 was great about letting us rebook on a better day. Staff was friendly, courteous, and helpful. Good value.
The experience was amazing! The workers were so kind and very efficient. We went on a 2 hour paddle boarding trip and loved it! Highly recommend
We had such a great time when we rented tandam kayaks! We had 2 kids (8,9) and 4 adults. The water was gentle enough that we quickly became comfortable, but when boats would go by, we enjoyed riding the wake! We rowed to McClellan (sp?) island and the kids enjoyed collecting shells on the bank. We will definitely be doing this again!Side note, we went on one of the hottest days of July, at 4 pm. We worried that with a heat index of almost 100, that we would be miserable, but the temps on the water were comfortable, as were we!!
We did the kayaking and it was so awesome. They were on time and very kind and helpful. We were nervous about having our 4 and 6 year old sit in front of us in each of our single kayaks but it worked perfectly.
All of the staff were so friendly and prepared. Lynn, our guide, was super fun and made our night extra special!
The whole process was very smooth. Rented online, watched the video and signed the waiver beforehand which helped with timing. Also the email said to park at Coolidge park and it was the most convenient and cheap parking so highly recommend! Once we got to the launch pad they gave us the gear and we were off! I have never been paddleboarding before, but it was easy to pick up. Definitely a must try!
You have to hit up this place if you visit Chattanooga! Great price, friendly and helpful staff, and a great time on the river. That was totally WICKED!!
First time paddle boarding and had a great experience. River traffic was light, so didn’t have to worry about too many boat wakes. The staff at the launch site were knowledgeable and helpful in giving advice on the best ways to get up river against the current and back down. I did the two hour rental and had plenty of time to explore. This was a really fun experience.
Jacob and the rest of the team were very friendly and helpful! Beautiful sunset tour. Thanks, L2! Looking forward to going out again sometime soon!
Very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our time!
It started out very unorganized in the beginning to be honest..set up, fitting for life jackets, etc..was a bit frustrated with that. Once we got settled and on thr water it was one of the best experiences Ive had.
Excellent Customer service. And their equipment was top notch. Will be back again.
My trip on the river went off without a hitch! Equipment was well maintained. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Cant wait for the next time!
For SUP newbies, L2 staff was very helpful. We loved it! We’ll be back!
Truly the BEST way to spend your time in Chattanooga. The staff is so helpful and kind. I will always recommend people to paddle board at L2! L2=woohoo!!!
Really friendly and organized. Made our experience great. Cool place to kayak
Easy effortless and what a fantastic way to view the city! From the river! Thank you L2
My family and friends enjoyed our outing with L2. The employees were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend to anyone that is visiting Chattanooga.
What a fantastic experience! The L2 crew were friendly, knowledgeable and got me in a great rental kayak which I thoroughly enjoyed for 2 hours on the Tennessee River. As an experienced kayaker on flat lakes and slow moving rivers, I sincerely appreciated the tips to navigate the Tennessee Rivers high flow that day. Thank you!
Renting a SUP and paddling around the river was amazing. Highly recommend it and the team at L2 was great to work with. Worth it:)
Had a wonderdulful time with our guide Lynn. She was knowledgeable and just fun to be with. Had nice, reliable equipment. Thank you L2!
Cat was squared-away and ensured everything worked out for us. Jacob had everything ready for us prior to plopping our butts into the Kayak. We left at 10:00 and returned at 2:00. Could not have asked for better service.
Reasonable pricing, friendly and polite staff, awesome experience and memories made!
We had a great time on the sunset tour!
Dylan, McKenzie, and Jacob were all very helpful and made this experience one of the best!! I really appreciate it! Keep up the good work.
Extremely flawless and positive experience start to finish: booked online, handled safety video / waivers online, easy to find, VERY friendly staff and you just show up and get in the water! Well definitely book again!
We loved our experience renting paddle boards with L2. They were so warm & friendly, highly professional, and top quality customer service!I highly recommend L2!
You can’t get any better that L2. The rates are incredible and the staff are friendly people. I just googled searched and took a chance—I’m so glad this worked out!
Spent an hr kayaking on the river and taking in the views, and it was very relaxing. They got us setup and ready very quickly. After a few minutes watching a video we were out and the door. Got some tips on how the river was flowing and that all we needed. Service was great and they offered to help in any way.
Great experience! Staff was incredibly friendly and informative as it was our first time kayaking on the river. Will be back
Nicest owners, went above and beyond! Beautiful store.will definitely rent from here again!
Best place for kayak & paddleboard rentals! Steve the owner was so nice & helpful as was Kat in the front. Would recommend happily to any friends or family!
Great staff made for a perfect first time experience. I will definitely return!
Very helpful and accommodating to me, I will buy locally from them before shopping online for a new paddleboard!
Great staff great prices and fun
Great time, great people!! We changed our plans 3 times, kat worked with me and was so friendly and accommodating. Thanks again for a great day!!!
We had a blast defiantly going to do that again!
Renting paddleboards from L2 was a great decision. Fun and easy.
The staff and new owners (Took over in 2020) are all awesome! Picked up some BOTE paddleboards and gear and loved their knowledge and friendliness!
Beautiful day on the water! Staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
My rental experience was fantastic! Very smooth and efficient process, friendly staff, and overall great day on the water!
Staff was very nice and helpful with getting the kayak in and out of the water. The river is always so nice and the equipment was great!
I had a great time! Jacob and Brandon were very helpful. I’ll be going back again soon!
Low cost, quality gear, and an all round great time!
First time kayaking in years and definitely glad me and my friends went thru L2. Staff is super friendly and welcoming, especially Kat! Can’t wait to come back soon!
Great experience and would 100% rent from them again!
Had a great time with the family. Would come again!
Awesome shop w everything I need for my outdoor adventures! Friendly staff hooked me up just right! Thank you Katt! Customer satisfaction- 100%
Always fun and relaxing with beautiful views 😍 I highly recommend L2 Outside!
A great place for water adventure rentals in Chattanooga!
Great experience with L2 Outside for 2 kayak rentals! Took off one star because we had to carry our gear down to the river because they were short staffed, not a HUGE deal, but I do have a bad back so it was harder than it probably would be if you have no chronic pain issues. Would definitely recommend reserving in advance as they said if we hadnt done that, there would have been no way to rent since they got booked up within an hour of opening that day (granted it was Labor Day, but still better early than not)! All gear was in great shape, and the staff member setting us up gave us great directions on where to go first to make sure we got the most of our time and had an easier time getting back to the ramp to exit the river. Would definitely return for a rental with L2!
Professional and friendly! Beautiful view from the water of downtown and North Chattanooga
L2 is awesome! They have clean, good quality equipment. The staff is very friendly and they have excellent customer service. It stormed halfway through my last paddleboarding trip, and they gave me a gift card for a free hour next visit. I come as much as I can every summer!
Had a great time paddle boarding in Chattanooga with L2. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We will def do this again.
We have used L2 Outside many times and we have always had a great experience with them. They are super helpful and cool! They even helped me get my own paddle board pumped up! We use them every time we have guests visiting from out of state and our guests always love it! I highly recommend using them!
We had a great experience with L2 while visiting Chattanooga for the weekend. Cat helped us book and was super friendly & helpful. We arrived a few mins late but it wasn’t a problem and they got us out in the water quickly. We had a lot of fun once we got the hang of it.
What a great way to get to know Chattanooga a bit better!
Went out on the water with a few friends and had an amazing time! Definitely a great way to see Chattanooga. Jake was an awesome tour guide and told us all about the area. Overall wonderful experience, staff, and price!
I was in town on business and wanted to explore Maclellan Island so I reserved a kayak through L2 Outsides website. I arrived at the L2 Outside store just a few minutes before my reservation window began. From my past experience with renting watercraft, you do the paperwork at the store then go to the launch point. After paying $9 for parking and running inside I learned that I was supposed to go directly to the launch location on the far shore of the Tennessee River. I frantically got back in my car and drove across the river in search of the launch point. I had already paid $40 and didnt want to loose my reservation as I was warned was a possibility for being late. After a few unsuccessful attempts, asking some park patrons, and paying for more parking I found the launch point. After I exasperatedly explained my frustration to the L2 Outside employee, he told me about some important emails that get sent to the renter after a reservation is made. It was in those emails that it said to go directly to the launch point rather than the store. I didnt know to look for these emails and because I made my reservation the morning of I didnt see them until later that day. Fortunately they honored my reservation although I was late.The L2 Outside employee said their kayak renting is relatively new and they are still working some kinks out. I was further disappointed to find that my kayak was a sit-on-top type rather than the sit inside type that was pictured on the reservation page. I had wanted the sit inside type so I didnt get my only pair of shoes wet. I ended up flying home with wet shoes but didnt mind because Maclellan Island was gorgeous. The wild beauty of the plants and animals on this island bird sanctuary was more than enough to make up for the stressful logistics.
We went kayaking with L2 on a Wednesday afternoon and had THE best time! The precautions the team is taking made us feel super safe, and it was amazing to be out on the water. Definitely plan to return!
We had a great time. Sierra and Jacob did an awesome job with assisting us on our first trip ever on a SUP and kayak. We rented them for 2 hours which allowed us enough time to go upstream to Maclellan Island and stop for a few minutes and check it out, and then cross the river to go check out the bluffs. We then went back downstream to the Tennessee Aquarium and back across the river.
One of our highlights from our trip to Chattanooga! Incredible service from the start. Booking the appointment was simple and we found all of the staff to be incredibly knowledgeable. We reserved two paddle boards for two hours which was an incredible way to experience the river. Highly recommend!
This was so much fun! The simple fact of getting to go out into the river and move about on our own was certainly the highlight of the weekend. We will definitely be coming back very soon for more rentals. Amazing price and very good staff to assist the entire trip!
L2 is always very generous and helpful. We are a dog training company, Good Citizen K9, and they have always welcomed the dogs we bring for training. Great dog friendly people!
McKenzie, and Luke were great!
Filling out the waiver prior to arrival made checking-in quick and easy. The location is super easy to find and the L2 team explains everything you need to know before starting out. We are excited to rent with L2 again in the future!
My boyfriend and I booked a 1 hour rental and it was awesome. The staff is so friendly and helpful. It’s a super easy process to get set up and get out on the water. We’ll definitely be back!
We had a great experience! It was fun kayaking down the river in a tandem kayak. The staff was super friendly and helpful!
We had a wonderful time kayaking the Tennessee River with lovely views of the city. L2 did an excellent job! Cant wait to come back. We might try the stand up paddle boards next time.
Great experience. Very friendly staff that made sure we were well taken care of. I would highly recommend.
I’ve never kayak in the TN river before. I found L2 Outside on google and decided to give it a try. The staff was friendly and were able to make us feel safe. I was able to bring my dog with me. We had a great time!
The first time we went paddleboarding was a blast, however, the weather did not want to cooperate and poured! Kat was beyond generous and gave me a partial refund to use for another two hours! Definitely would recommend if you are looking to have a fun adventure!
What a great time! We rented paddle boards and received a super fun river tour from employee Jake Reid. River was perfect, service was comfortable, fast, and fun. Great paddle board equipment as well. 10/10, definitely coming back!
Easy process. Booking was done online through L2’s Facebook page. I had a few questions to which Kat responded to quickly. After selecting my booking and paying, I was given a link to the safety video and waiver forms which can be signed digitally. Didn’t even have to check in on the morning of my booking. Just showed up at the water and was on board in about 3 minutes. I’ll be back!
First time paddle boarding= success! The girl working the front desk was so friendly and the guys down at the dock were extremely helpful. Will definitely use them again on our next trip to Chatt :)
Friendly people and staff. They know their stuff and are great for answering questions. Very wide range of knowledge, and very helpful.
It was a great experience
We were super happy with our SUP adventure. L2 staff were very nice and since you only interact with 2 staff members you really do feel safe during these COVID times.
Great place for get your watercraft in the downtown Chattanooga region. Much improved when comparing to the original shop L1
