THE ACTIVITY

Pedal boats for a laid-back day on the water

Float the Portneuf or head to nearby reservoirs

Designed for small parties

Each pedal boat holds up to five people, making it a straightforward option for families or a small group of friends looking for an easy water-based activity.

What the outing feels like

This rental is about easygoing propulsion and scenery—pedal at your own pace for an hour or extend into a full day; bring sunscreen, snacks and water and settle in for a relaxing day on the water while taking in the surrounding landscape.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Active FamiliesA good match: rentals accommodate up to five people and are billed by the hour or day, letting families tailor outing length to kids' energy levels.
2
Groups of FriendsWell suited for a small group: the five-person maximum keeps the outing social and simple to organize.
3
Campground GuestsIdeal if you’re staying in the campground—campground guests may ride on the Portneuf River directly, offering convenient local water access.
4
Solo TravelersPossible but less typical: boats are sized for up to five people, so solo travelers can rent but should consider whether a multi-person craft is the best fit.
