Jackson Kayak, based in Sparta, Tennessee, originated in 2004 as a Made-in-America whitewater brand founded by Olympic kayaker Eric Jackson, design partner David Knight, and Tony Lunt. The company soon earned a reputation for innovation and build quality and expanded into recreational and fishing kayaks characterized by thoughtful design and strong performance. It has grown into Jackson Adventures, adding brands such as Orion, the premium coolers introduced in 2014, Blue Sky Boatworks in 2018, and Orion Kennels in 2019, along with ongoing propulsion innovations like the FlexDrive 3D system.
