Kayak Rentals and Self-Guided Tours


Description
Enjoy a leisurely paddle in your comfortable sit-on-top kayak or head to an iconic destination such as the Emerald Cave or Boulder Islands. Picnic, swim, or find a hidden gem to explore and sunbathe. Your time on the water is yours to enjoy!
This self-guided kayak tour is without instruction or a guide, but we are happy to steer you in the right direction so you can make the most of your time out on the river or lake.
We will launch you from your chosen location and fit you with the appropriately sized kayak, paddle, and life vest. We know you'll find something exciting, and we can't wait to hear all about it.
