Bicycles & Boats

What makes Bicycles & Boats a standout is its unique approach to outdoor recreation. They operate the largest eBike fleet in the Black Hills, with every bike regularly serviced for an exceptional ride. Their shuttle service to northern Mickelson Trailheads offers a hassle-free way to explore breathtaking views, historic rail tunnels, and charming small-town stops.  

Paddlers will love the guided lake tours at serene destinations like Deerfield Reservoir. For self-guided explorers, expedition-grade kayaks and paddleboards simplify transport and setup, letting you enjoy calm, flatwater lakes at your pace. Bicycles & Boats even extends its expertise globally with guided Costa Rica trips featuring biking, whitewater rafting, and eco-tourism experiences.  

Whether your group includes toddlers, beloved pets, or seasoned riders, Bicycles & Boats has something for everyone. Choose from eBikes, standard bikes, kid trailers, and even tag-along bike trailers designed for young riders in training. All rentals include helmets, locks, handlebar bags, and comfy, padded seats to enhance your journey along the well-marked trail.  

Their paddlecraft rentals feature top-of-the-line inflatable kayaks, paddleboards, and packrafts—perfect for exploring over 20 nearby lakes. They even provide delivery services for easy lake meet-ups, making adventures like kayaking at Horsethief Lake or Deerfield Reservoir effortless.  

Start by booking in advance to secure your gear or shuttle service on busy days. For bikes, consider bundling rentals with shuttle passes for an all-day ride back to Hill City, stopping at attractions like the Moonshine Gulch Saloon along the way. Be sure to ask about trail maps and elevation guides so you can plan your perfect ride without surprises.  

For paddlers, pack sunscreen, dry clothes, and snacks for a day on the water. If you're venturing on a guided kayak tour, certified instructors handle the logistics so you can relax and enjoy. Families will appreciate bringing along kids’ trailers or TowWhee bungee tow straps for a whine-free day of fun.  

From the peaceful waters of Deerfield Reservoir to the iconic Mickelson Trail, Bicycles & Boats brings the Black Hills to life.
