All ice rental are out of our location at The Forks (1 Forks Market Rd.). For all ice rentals rental pick up is at our river trail hut location right on the trail. When returning your rentals please ensure you hand them off to a Kendricks Outdoor Adventure team member who will check the equipment over before you leave. We highly encourage you to be mindful of your rental time so that your neighbours booking after you can start on time.
Your best bet is to arrive at least 5 minutes before your rental booking but life happens, and we get it. If you’re running late, get to us safely and we will get you out on your rental as quickly as possible. Your rental time block will remain the same, so you’ll still need to return your rental on time.
We recommend arriving at least 5 minutes prior to your booking as you will need to be given a run through of the equipment. It makes everyone’s lives easier if the members of the group have all completed the electronic waivers in advance of your booking. Details on arrival and your electronic waiver will be shared with you once you complete your booking.
We know you’re going to have a great time! Be mindful of your rental block as your neighbours may have a rental booked after you. If you would like to extend your rental, please reach out to us directly so that we can see what’s possible. BUT, please plan to return your rental on time in case we can’t accommodate a longer time.
Yes, don’t be tardy! If you are late returning your rental equipment others may be left waiting to get out on their adventure. There is a $15 late fee for any rental equipment being returned late. After the initial $15 an additional $15 / 15 minute or portion of 15 minutes thereof will be charged until the rental equipment is returned.
We take pride on our equipment and if a rental is returned with a lot of debris on the equipment an additional cleaning fee will apply.
Bookings are final sale. No refunds will be provided. If unforeseen circumstances arise please reach out to us.
While sometimes the weather can get in the way of getting you out on your adventure we do our best. Winnipeg, often known as Winterpeg, is a tundra for some months of the year while we also have a hot summer. Winnipeggers are resilient and we don’t let the weather get in our way of having fun outside. Dress for the weather and you will enjoy your outdoor adventure! In the summer if it’s too windy sometimes various water adventures do get rescheduled. For E-scooter rentals dry ground conditions are required and renters will be rescheduled in wet weather conditions. If there are extreme weather conditions and we have to cancel we will look to reschedule. Bookings are final sale.
Details on rental pick up will be provided by email once you book your rental. Complete your electronic waiver in advance of arriving for your rental. Dress for the weather in comfortable active footwear and clothing. Bring a government issued photo ID and maybe some money in case you want to stop for a coffee or treat along the way. Dress in Layers and come to have FUN! ‘Get Moving. Get Fresh Air. Get Outside’!
For all E-Bike and E-scooter rentals riders must be 18 years of age or older.
Yes, we require all renters and the members in their group to complete a waiver. This waiver is emailed to you after your booking is complete. The email offers a link to send off the waiver to others if you booked for your family or friends.
YES! Manitoba laws require all riders under 18 wear a helmet and we encourage and recommend that anyone, at any age, wears a helmet while riding a bike. For all E-scooter rentals a helmet is mandatory. You can bring your own helmet or use one of ours included in the rental. For any tours a helmet is also mandatory.
Our hours vary by location and day. Check out our locations for operation hours.
Oh no! Accidents happen and if something is returned damaged, we will assess the condition. If the equipment you have rented is returned damaged, or equipment goes missing or is stolen, additional fees for repair or replacement will be charged. Renters are responsible to take care of all rented equipment.
It’s as easy as riding a bike! If you have been on another bike you should find this similar. Basic riding abilities are all you need! Take your time, get comfortable with the seat position and gearing and you’ll be out on your adventure in no time.
To enjoy your experience, basic bike riding ability (for the use of the fat bikes) is required. If you’re not ready to hop on the bike just yet, check out our ice bikes and snowshoe rentals!
Yes! Check out our available summer rentals including canoes, kayaks, paddle boards and pedal boats. We also offer fat bikes throughout the year. In the winter we offer ice bikes, ice trikes, skating assist/ice riders and snowshoe rentals. Please find all ages details on our rental page to make sure the sizing we have available will work for them. Note E-Bike and E-Scooter rentals require a minimum age of 18.
Fat tire bikes are great for trails in the summer as well as when they are snow covered in the winter. Please do not ride the fat tire bike on ice. If you want to spend time on the ice, try the the ice bikes, ice trikes and the skating assist/riders.
