Established in 2009, CW Outfitting is the only Central Minnesota canoe, kayak & Stand Up Paddle (SUP) board retail store and outfitter on the banks of the Mississippi River. We're only 60 minutes from downtown Minneapolis/St. Paul, 20 minutes from downtown St. Cloud and less than a mile from Interstate 94 in Clearwater, Minnesota, right on the bank of the Mississippi River. Visit our historical building and "try before you buy" one of our canoes, kayaks, fishing kayaks or stand up paddle boards. Let us outfit you with our canoes, kayaks, stand up paddle boards and gear for your next “daycation”, group outing, or Boundary Waters expedition. Whatever outdoor adventure you’re planning, we’re here to help make it a safe, relaxing and enjoyable one. Because we specialize in used and factory discounted canoes, kayaks and SUP boards we get them in periodically throughout the year and always have great deals in the shop. We love seeing kids get outdoors and paddle, so we offer great rates for families, nonprofit organizations and community groups as well as business outings. And as a locally owned and operated business we always appreciate your business. When you have a few minutes, we'd love to chat with you about the great canoes, kayaks, fishing kayaks, SUP boards, and gear we sell and services we provide.

Mississippi River Smallmouth Bass Fishing
CW Outfitting is located along the Mississippi River in central Minnesota. They say location is the key for a great company and CW Outfitting has the location. This location provides customers that are looking for a kayak to purchase the opportunity to demo that day. Also this section of the Mississippi River is rated in the top 10 in the country for smallmouth bass river fishing by some national magazines. The shop not only sells kayaks and accessories but also sells fishing equipment. Also this section of the Mississippi is very canoe, kayak, & SUP friendly as the water depth is too shallow for motor boats.
Fish an eight mile stretch of the river that starts at CW Outfitting and ends at Snuffies Landing. Along the paddle we targeted smallmouth bass but there will be the opportunity to land a walleye, pike, and catfish or maybe enjoy a battle with a monster muskie. When Snuffies Landing is within eye sight we called CW Outfitters and in a short time they were at the landing to pick us up and take us back to their store.
CW Outfitters have a great selection of kayaks and being along the Mississippi River this makes for a great opportunity to demo kayaks just in front of their launch area.
Since they also cater to anglers they have a small area set aside for fishing gear to purchase as well.
This is a great outfit to purchase your kayak or to just rent for the trip that we took or one of their other float trips that are mapped out.
