Clyde’s River Guides & Outfitters

Hey river friends!

It is with mixed emotions that we announce we’ve decided to close Clyde’s permanently. We are so thankful for all the people that have showed love, support, and allowed us to be part of their river experience over the years! Jay, Ehna, Nick, Clyde and the rest of the crew will be concentrating on increasing their own adventures in the future. If you’re in the area, stop by and say hey!

You can follow Western Maryland River Explorers page to connect with like minded individuals and post your adventures.

We have a ton of 2024 and 2025 Jackson kayaks for sale from our new and rental fleet, and we are motivated to sell below MSRP! Now is the time to buy!

Items will be on marketplace soon. Contact us via messenger or at 240-378-0830 if interested.

Get outside, stay safe, and happy paddling! We’ll see you on the water 🐶🛶

Ehna loves her new tandem Jackson Take Two. It is here at the shop and available to demo if you’re interested in a larger boat or 2 seater with a solo/tadem ability. Perfect for a large dog up front and carrying all your camping gear. This replaced the Big Tuna which was a great kayak for my son and I when he was little. Check out the link below and give us a call or message if interested at (240) 378-0830 and we can order in one for you!

Clyde’s a happy boy today, he got to trade a Jackson warranty boat for a most excellent bag of his favorite combos! Pretty sure you’re his new favorite client, Brian! Here’s to many happy hours in your Yupik. Clyde said he’s happy to nap in your boat, should you need a wing man on your next adventure! 🐶🛶

Clyde is still vigilantly watching for customers and misses you all (and your snacks) greatly! Show us pics of your pups that had to find other ways to cool off this summer!

P.S. Clyde says if any of you have any extra pizza flavored combos, you should stop by and say hi, maybe check out a yak. Don’t forget the combos.
