Rouge River Launch

Find a kayak rental near me at Kessey Fieldhouse on the Rouge River in Melvindale, MI. Whenever Watersports puts a self-serve kiosk right at the launch, steps from the fieldhouse's parking lot. Grab a single or tandem kayak through the app and set out past the historic Ford Rouge Plant and a run of unusual drawbridges, on a stretch of river that winds its way toward the Detroit River. It's an easy way to find a kayak rental in Melvindale, MI for a paddle that feels more like an industrial history tour than a typical lake day.
