Canoe Rentals at Topsail?

Hi there, Can you tell me if there are Canoe or Kayak rentals at Topsail? We have been before, but I never checked but we would like to try it this time. Is there a lake someone other than the small ones right in the campground? Thanks in advance!
  • You can also rent kayaks for beach use only. We always take our kayaks with us to Topsail. It is awesome to catch up with the dolphins while kayaking in the gulf.
  • Yes you pay at the camp store. The canoes are on Lake Campbell which is about a mile bike ride down the bike path past the beach turn off.

    Here is an excerpt from the Topsail web site:

    Canoeing & Kayaking

    Visitors can canoe on Lake Campbell, a rare coastal dune lake. Canoes can be rented at the Campground Store. Cash or check only, please. $35 for four hours; $55 for the day. Canoes cannot be brought into the park because of the possibility of introducing exotic plants into the dune lake.

    Hope this helps.
