About Us

Welcome to Nick's Knacks and Kayaks — your one-stop shop for fun apparel, clever gifts, and those little essentials you didn’t realize you needed until you’re already on the road.

Our story starts right here in Bushkill, where Nick's mom has been a proud long-time resident for decades. She introduced me to the beauty of the Delaware River through years of kayaking. There’s nothing quite like the peace that comes from floating gently down the river — the calm water, the scenic views, and that rare feeling of simply being present. That love for the river and the Poconos area is baked into everything we do.

I’ve always had a deep appreciation for a great dad joke (the cornier, the better). You’ll find that sense of humor woven into our designs — from hilarious dad-themed tees to playful animal prints and more. Laughter is the best accessory, after all.

Living near a popular destination, I also know what it’s like to be the visitor who forgot something important — sunscreen, a hat, a spare layer, or just a fun souvenir to remember the trip. That’s why we created Nick’s Knacks and Kayaks: to be that convenient, friendly stop that has exactly what you need when you’re exploring Bushkill, the Delaware River, or the surrounding area. Whether you’re a local, a weekend warrior, or a first-time visitor, we want you to leave with a smile, a great story, and maybe a new favorite shirt.

Located at The General Store of Bushkill, we’re proud to serve our community and visitors alike with comfortable, high-quality apparel and unique knick-knacks that celebrate life on the river and the joy of everyday humor.

Thank you for stopping by. We hope our products bring you as much joy as a smooth paddle on a sunny day or a perfectly timed dad joke.
