Outdoor New England | ONE - Franklin, New Hampshire

Marty and the staff are super helpful! Definitely a place to stop into whether you're new to the sport or a seasoned veteran. Definitely stop by! My wife and I took private lessons and gained a ton of experience and confidence. I would definitely recommend ONE. Also, when you look at that play wave and at Mill City Park, understand that Marty and his friends spearheaded the project and brought awareness and life to the community. Shout out to Joe and Dan for taking care of us!

Marty the owner was super friendly and helpful. He was our Whitewater rafting guide and the owner of ONE. The rafting experience was 2 runs down the same stretch of the river that takes about 25 minutes each run. We were on the river when flow was about 650cfs so not super fast. 1000 and above according to Marty is when things get REALLY interesting. We still got to do the “Varsity” surfing rapid which was a lot of FUN so do what he says when he says it!

Marty took the time to know our names and add the personal touch. You can tell he loves the community he is a part of. A couple of the pictures is the start of their vision for the town of Franklin...a whitewater feature park! We are looking forward to returning and checking it out when it’s finished. I think kayaks are the next adventure for us 🙂 Thanks for the great experience!

We bought 2 kayaks and gear a few months ago while visiting from NJ. The owner is helpful and friendly. We loved the personal advice and help. Couldn't be happier with finding this gem and hope to visit again sometime soon!

This is an excellent outdoors shop and kayak/rafting store that is family run by great people. They also offer two water adventures, a quiet river and a whitewater. I did the quiet river, was beautiful, although a little slow in parts (was also in the middle of a drought), so I'll prob do the faster river next time. Highly recommend.

The crew at Outdoor New England - ONE use what they sell themselves, paddling or camping and so many other adventures! They know the gear in and out and can answer all your questions. I will be back for some kayaking gear and recommend stopping in and checking the place out! They even have guided trips on the river for rafting, kayak lessons and I even think they are offering surf lessons on a New Hampshire River! Just an amazing shop and staff...

From getting necessary equipment to instruction on the foundations of whitewater kayaking, or even getting your drysuit repaired, this shop is the only ONE you want to go to! Marty, Joe, and everyone else not only take the time to learn your name, they are incredibly helpful in getting you what you need. They have a great selection of kayaks, equipment, and gear for those new to the sport as well as seasoned paddlers. Their kayaking instruction is phenomenal as well! Joe took a small group of us down the Upper Winnipesaukee river to teach us the basics of whitewater, from ferrying to catching an eddy, surfing a hole, and most importantly river safety. Marty has been teaching the rolling classes and he has helped me up my game to where I was able to roll in current at the whitewater park! They're an incredible resource to the entire region, and they're helping revitalize a town that had been struggling for many years with the creation of the whitewater park at Mill City Park.
Whitewater isn't the only area they specialize in also. They have equipment for all types of kayaking, rafting, and offer rentals and shuttling for kayaks, as well stand up paddleboards and bicycle rentals, and instruction and tours for anything you want to do on the water with a paddle.
Friendly, personable, passionate about the outdoors. That's them. That's ONE.

Walked in and bought some amazing water shoes on recommendation, which also ended up being amazing trail running shoes due to the incredible grip on slick rocks (I might have to throw out my Sauconys). Also just a really cool place and love the improvements they do around the town.
