1953 - 2008 CELEBRATING 55 YEARS OF SERVICE!

Bel Haven Paddlesports has long since become a landmark in the heart of the New Jersey Pinelands.  In 1953, William Bell and his twin brothers, Robert and Weldon, did what most of us dream of.  Armed with only a couple of shovels, they built a dam and created a lake.  Starting with 6 canoes and a beach, history had begun!

Staying true to the initial intention where families and individuals could spend time experiencing the splendor of the environment, the sacredness of our rivers, and the serenity of canoeing, our business philosophy has expanded but not changed.

Now, 55 years later, we are still family owned and operated.  Canoes have lined up along side kayaks, rental trips have become more like mini explorations and the demand for sales & service has made us a premiere regional paddling center in the Mid Atlantic.  Today the Bel Haven Lake and Marina answers the quest for the paddling enthusiasts with our year round test paddling promise!

We want to thank all of our patrons that we have seen over the years; the next generation to come and our dedicated staff that make it happen everyday!  For us, we are committed to the “Bell” name continuing to be synonymous to a landmark of quality outdoor recreation.

From all us at Bel Haven Paddlesports, we wish you a safe and pleasurable experience with every canoe and kayak outing!
