CELEBRATING 50 YEARS ON THE WATER

When an idealistic business professor named Bill Parks set out to prove that the principles he taught in the classroom could work in the real world, he had no trouble deciding what kind of startup to launch. Bill was a river runner, and he wanted to help others enjoy the sport he’d come to love. Starting with $2,000 from his savings, he stocked an inventory of boating gear in his garage and typed out the first Northwest River Supplies catalog.

Now in his 80s, Bill is still running rivers and working to help others pursue their passions on the water. And the 150 employee-owners at NRS are committed to the same singular vision. What draws us to water is what drives us every day.
