Little River General Store

Nice little store to rent bikes and they also have tubes! The prices are a bit spendy but the bikes are very nice and ride really well! The worker was very helpful and adjusted our seats for us. The store has just about anything you need for a day spent out In lanesboro!

Had a good time kayaking, went last Tuesday. Made reservations for 3 for the next day. Everything was good to go. 2 to 2 1/2 hour trip took us 3 hours, chilled and went with the current most of the time and stopped at a couple of beaches for a few minutes. You will get wet. I recommend old shoes or water shoes if you tip over and kinda helps getting out where you land at the end. You park at the end and they take you to the drop spot. Life vest provided. $30 for the three of us ages 35-39. Seeing some wildlife was a plus. Be smart if you take electronics, maybe bring a ziplock bag or something. Anything laying in the kayak is going to get wet. It's nice when you call them to let them know you are done. Hope this review helps.

We ride along the bike trails to Lanesboro, Preston and Whalan every year as a family and I've used Little River General Store almost every year. Last year my daughter's bike tire split and they had a replacement tire in stock that fit the bike and my budget. This year my niece's bicycle was giving her troubles so we rented a bike from here for 3 days. The rental bike was great quality and fit her well. She went from the back of the pack to the front so that was nice for everyone. They even stored her old bike in their shop until we returned the rental bike and offered to have their mechanic look at the old bike if we wanted. Lastly our friend rented an e-bike this past weekend and I was impressed with the quality of that bike too. She did have issues with the seat sliding down, but since it's an e-bike you are not needing to have full leg extension anyway. Looking forward to more adventures in the years to come.

Great rental place, with helpful staff. We rented 2 bikes, they were basically brand new, it was easy to achieve many miles with those bikes.

Our bike broke down just outside of town. The mechanic was available and the bike was repaired within the hour before we finished lunch! Great place!

Had a great tubing rental experience. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely rent from them again!

This vendor not only had nice equipment and a friendly staff, they were half the price of the competitor across the street. Our first day out we rented a single bike that was smooth and fun to ride. Our next day we rented the tandem rovers- recumbent bikes~ such a blast. One of our bikes had an issue with the chain, however the vendor made it RIGHT in the end! good customer service.....keep rollin!

I'm planning a bikepacking / fly fishing trip down the root river and Little River helped guide me towards some great resources. Thank you!

My wife and I were out in Lanesboro for our first wedding anniversary. We wanted to rent bikes to take the state trail to Fountain to visit the brewery. We stopped in the on a Friday to feel the place out and chatted with a very friendly employee who too time to talk about each bike, the trails, etc. Saturday we showed up around 1030 and were on bikes within 15 minutes. Both bikes were well maintained, comfortable seats and operated without issue over 23+ miles of biking. Overall the product and staff service were great.

Good bikes, no issues with customer service. This is our 3rd time of renting from them and will continue to do so. They helped us get fitted in our tandem recumbent bike.

Broke my chain before a 22 mile ride…. Super disappointed! Store owner helped me find parts for the chain, and let me use their tools to fix it! Absolutely first class operation. Help this business thrive!!

Really cool place. Mostly bike and tube rentals but they also have Tshirts, hoodies, bike tools and bags and some other stuff. They are located at a bend in the river so you walk about a half mile and get in the water. After 30-40 minutes you get out and walk another half mile back and you can do it again if you want.

The used bikes are a good deal, and the employees are friendly. 2 mechanics looked over my bike prior to the purchase to make sure everything was working correctly.

We rented a kid trailer for a bike ride to ride the Root River Trail. Excellent service, will definitely be back.

Great service. Top notch new bikes to rent. Bring or buy your own helmets...

Staff was very friendly and enjoyed a nice bike ride with the family!

Just came back from there, great services, will go again next week.

Owner is a nice person. They helped with a flat.

Great stuff. Mechanics are great!

Love the little kids working there and the service was nice
