Kayaking Services & Features

Our river kayak rentals are designed to make your day on the White River easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Every rental comes with the gear you need, shuttle service to your launch point, and straightforward float options to fit your schedule, whether you want a quick outing or a full day on the water.

Flexible Float Trip Options

Choose from three float distances, each with its own departure window and estimated time on the water. Whether you want a short 1.5-hour paddle or a full 5 to 7 hours on the river, we have a kayak rental option to match.

High-Quality Kayaks & Gear

Every kayak rental includes a one-person kayak, paddle, and life preserver. Our kayaks are well-maintained and ready for the river when you arrive.
