Sometimes we rent a few items from here for camp or our fishing trips. They are usually friendly and eager to help. They’re informative when I call with questions as well. I took away a star due to very few items that have had missing pieces/parts. Also, there are rare occasions where they can be slow and avoid customers. Check everything thoroughly before you go off on your outdoor trip because the last thing you want is to find missing items when they’ve already closed or you’re already a few hours drive away.

5 stars for available items, they have any and everything you can want from a MWR. The low stars are based on employee training and knowledge. I rented a raft and my paperwork was misplaced 2 times had to fill out same forms 3 times. Rented a dipnet they gave me 2 of the 3 parts nothing connected had to go back for additional link..

They have good quality and serviceable gear to hire. I borrowed some waders, fishing rod and net to catch the salmon at Bird creek. Plenty of tourist information available and discounts for some trips. You can get your fishing licences from here.

I rented 4 mountain bikes for my family. $15/bike/day which is a great price, but you get what you pay for. They have a lot of bikes, but mostly small and medium frame sizes; the largest available was a "M/L" which was a bit small for my 6 ft self, but worked fine for what it was. Very few kid bikes available. In adult size, both regular and fatty mountain bikes were available. I got regular mtbs.The bikes are 20 speed with 10 gears in back but only 2 small chainrings up front, so high gears not really available. The bikes are not in excellent condition nor that well maintained, I had to try several to find one that was acceptable. Even on the most acceptable one, the brakes would bind and the gearshifting was not well adjusted, requiring me to do some work. The bikes were also pretty dirty and when I inquired about that, was told if I didn't like it there was a hose out front I could use to rinse it off. So this sounds like a bad review, but I will still give 4 stars because the bikes are light, relatively good performing, and if you are handy enough to make the minor needed adjustments you can't beat the price. Will use again.

Do they have scuba equipment?

Doubtful. They really cater to the typical Alaska outdoor activities that have less liability.
