River Run Outfitters
Share
Explore Norris Lake & Melton Hill Lake with River Run Outfitters! We rent kayaks, paddleboards, canoes, water bikes, pedal boats, bikes & e-bikes.
Easy online reservation + local service. Making the Outdoors Accessible for All 🌍🛶💚
At River Run Outfitters, we believe everyone deserves the chance to explore, connect, and find joy in nature. There’s something powerful about paddling across a quiet lake in a kayak or standing tall on a paddle board under the summer sky. These moments build confidence, create healthy outlets, and grow a deep respect for the world around us. We proudly serve two beautiful East Tennessee locations: Norris Lake, known for its clear, calm waters and surrounding state park and wildlife sanctuary, and Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, a peaceful spot perfect for paddling, fishing, and family outings.
💚 That’s why we proudly offer deeply discounted rates for:
• Non-profit organizations
• Youth groups
• Outdoor-based collectives
We never want cost to be a barrier, especially for young people. If your organization serves youth or individuals in need, please reach out. Let’s get more people outside. Let’s get more people on the water. Let’s protect what we love and paddle together.

A little late coming out with this, and it could be a little chilly, but if you find yourself awake, and nothing to do, come on over.
