Called to ask about rentals, and when it was mentioned that the rentals were for a non-profit for Veterans the guy said, "Stop right there, not interested" then hung up. Not willing to rent to a group supporting veterans is insane.

Little bit pricey, hard working guy. Located next to the river. Upstate New York.

I stopped by Al’s store today hoping to get my kayak steamcleaned before paddling in the reservoir.He let me know that he didn’t have time, but graciously gave me the phone number for Gene and his wife who provide a shuttle service for one-day river trips (highly recommend them!) so I could paddle on the Delaware instead.However, while I was walking around Al’s shop talking on the phone with Gene, I saw that he had a book casually sitting on one of his for-sale tables in front of the store titled ‘Jews are the Problem,’ which has a pretty self-explanatory premise.It would be a massive understatement to say I was disappointed to see this out in the open at Al’s store, particularly in an area with the history that the Catskills has.I would urge potential patrons to bring their business elsewhere and not support this antisemite.*EDIT: Al responded that he is "not responsible for the info someone left there." I respectfully disagree. Whether the book is his (I certainly hope not!) or was truly left there by someone else, he is responsible for what is on display at his store. This book was in a prominent location at his store on a Tuesday morning. Seems odd to me that someone would be driving around dropping off antisemitic literature on a weekday morning as he suggests occurred. If that did indeed happen, he should have the sense to remove it.I would also expect Al to express a bit of remorse or shame that I experienced this at his business versus simply shirking responsibility.

Had an amazing experience on 4th of July. Al and his wife were super kind and helpful. We rented a Kayak and did the longer route they suggested (until the third bridge). It took us 1:45h and was very scenic. Would definitely recommend renting kayaks here!

The place to pick up your fishing license and supplies in downsville . Open early with a pretty wide selection of stuff. There are also rooms for rent on the east branch of the Delaware river and kayak and conoe rentals.

Excellent store. Something for everyone here. Especially if it's related to the outdoors in the Catskills. Nice outdoor furniture and other stuff too.

Great for quick fishing gear and fishing license. Not much of any other sporting goods or hunting gear.

Awesome place to rent kayaks or canoes. Make sure you call ahead to reserve. Cool but small rapids as well as a great upper body workout.
