4 Canoes and Paddleboard Shops near Diamond Lake

Dick’s Sporting Goods

4520 Grape Rd, Mishawaka, In – (574) 243-4789

Dick’s Sporting Goods in Mishawaka, just outside of South Bend, is a great place to pick up what you need. They have a variety of sporting goods items that are ideal for our region.

While Dick’s is a nationwide chain retailer and not a local store, this offers advantages:

  • Wide selection of top-name brands.
  • Expert staff members who can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Convenient shopping experience. You can order online, pick it up in-store, or curbside.
  • They price match and offer store-wide discounts.
  • They also have a great return policy so if what you buy doesn’t work out just right, returning it is easy.

We usually like to promote local small businesses exclusively but Dick’s is a great retailer and no list regarding sporting goods is complete without including the local Dick’s Sporting Goods and Sportsman’s Wherehouse.

Dick’s is located just across the border in Indiana, just under an hour away from Diamond Lake. Click here for directions.
