Our Story

Turkey River Rentals has served paddlers for many years under a variety of names and ownership groups.

In 2015, Adam Sadewasser and his brother Owen purchased the business and continued its tradition of helping people explore the Turkey River. In 2017, Adam and his wife Halsey assumed ownership and have operated the business ever since.

Over the years, the focus has stayed the same—helping people spend time on the river and connect with the outdoors.

More Than a Day on the River

This business is about more than canoes and kayaks. It’s about time outside — drifting past tree-lined bends, stopping on sandbars, and enjoying a day that doesn’t feel rushed.

The Turkey River offers a different rhythm. Every trip has its own pace, and every bend brings something new.
