Ready to get outside? The weather is heating up and summer is the season to try new activities, wear a lot of sunscreen, and enjoy the open air. Visit one of these local outdoor shops to buy, rent, or browse some new outdoor gear to make the most of the summer months.

ECO EZ-Riders

Ride off into the sunset on a mountain bike or electric bike. ECO EZ-Riders lets you rent all day or for 3 hours for a flat rate, with child and dog carts available. Simply call ahead to make your reservation the day before, and you can take your bike out on the trails or roll around town. Easy renting and easy planning for outdoor fun.

SouthWest PaddleSports

The Texas heat can be scorching, and sometimes the best place to be is on the water. SouthWest PaddleSports can help you get out there with paddleboards, kayaks, or fishing canoes to rent or buy. If you already own a water craft, they also offer repairs or outfitting to make sure you have everything you need for a water-filled day.

Lakes Edge Boat House

If you’re looking to spend the day on Lake Woodlands, a rental at Lakes Edge Boat House is the easiest way to rent and ride the waters without having to load and unload heavy equipment to and fro. They’ll get you everything you need quickly to get on the lake, with access to Northshore Park. Kayaks, paddleboards, and water bikes are all available.

Austin Kayak

When it comes to outdoor fun, Austin Kayak has it all. Yes, even kayaks. But more importantly, name-brand coolers, outfitting, trailers, and racks. It’s a one-stop shop for adventure time. Great for fishers who need to update their equipment for the season.
