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!

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.

Review №14

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.

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!!

Review №22

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!

Review №24

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.

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.

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!

Review №78

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 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.

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!
