What our customers say

ONE is the go-to center for adventure sports in New Hampshire. After several lessons and stops in for equipment purchases, I have learned a tremendous amount about whitewater kayaking while conversing with staff. They all have first hand knowledge of the sport(s), and the store has a ton of new and used gear. Check out the used section for good gear at very reasonable prices.

— Thomas S.

One of the best kayak shops in the country. Knowledgeable staff, authentic paddlers that welcome all levels of participants. Whether you are starting out and want to learn about river sports, or if you are an expert already, they have something for everyone and can speak knowledgeably about it.

— Rob Y.

We had an excellent time with Outdoor New England! My group got to raft down the river on an absolutely gorgeous day, and Lucas was the staff member that helped our group, he was kind, funny, and very helpful! I highly recommend hitting the river with these guys!
