Welcome To Evergreen Outfitting

"To share our passion and knowledge of the outdoors."

Evergreen Outfitting is a veteran-owned outdoor guide service based in Royalton, Minnesota, located on the scenic Platte River and surrounded by some of the best Minnesota rivers to explore and fish. Our small team includes Ben Dockendorf (owner and fishing guide), Amanda Dockendorf (outdoor yoga instructor), and Eric Altena (fisheries biologist and bass guide).

We offer guided jet boat fishing trips on the Mississippi River and its tributaries, canoe and kayak rentals, and outdoor yoga experiences, all designed to help people slow down, learn something new, and reconnect with nature.

At Evergreen Outfitting, our goal is simple: create meaningful outdoor experiences while passing on skills and knowledge that last a lifetime. That might look like watching a child catch their first fish, helping someone land a new personal best, or introducing someone to the quiet peace of paddling a calm Minnesota river.

Time spent outdoors matters. Whether it’s the stillness of an early morning cast on a river, the rhythm of paddling downstream, or the grounding feeling of movement and breath in nature, these moments stay with you.

Guided Fishing Trips
Our guided fishing trips focus on learning, technique, and enjoying Minnesota’s rivers and waterways. From beginner anglers to experienced fishermen, expect expert instruction, beautiful structure-filled water, and unforgettable days on the river.

Canoe & Kayak Rentals
Explore Minnesota rivers at your own pace. Whether it’s a solo paddle or a group adventure, we offer canoe and kayak rentals and guided trips to help you experience the Platte River and surrounding waterways.

Outdoor Yoga
Reconnect with your body and breath through outdoor yoga in a peaceful natural setting. Practice mindful movement, relaxation, and balance while flowing under the trees or along the water.

Whether you’re reeling in a fish on a Minnesota river, paddling through quiet water, or practicing yoga under an open sky, our mission is to create experiences that restore, inspire, and reconnect you with nature.

We invite you to join us—get outside, get on the water, and experience Minnesota’s rivers with Evergreen Outfitting.
