38‑lb Kevlar Two‑Seater at Walker Lake — ultralite canoe rental ($55/day).
Light as a pack, tough as a trip: Widgawa Lodge & Outfitters supplies 38‑lb ultralite kevlar two‑person canoes for self‑guided exploration from the Walker Lake Access in Killarney. Rentals include essential safety gear and a rescue kit, and the operator requires pre‑ and post‑trip photos of the canoe to be shown to staff on return, so plan your handover before you push off into the lake's scenery.

Outing Highlights
Featherweight Kevlar — built for Killarney
These ultralite kevlar two‑seat canoes weigh just 38 pounds, making them unusually easy to carry to and from the Walker Lake Access point while still offering the stability and load capacity for short multi‑day trips.
Shared logistics: locker at the access, kit at the lodge
Canoes are locked at the Walker Lake Access point rather than at Widgawa Lodge; paddles, lifejackets and the rescue kit are provided but must be picked up and returned to Widgawa Lodge, so coordinate both locations when planning your day or overnight.
Photo checks and firm return times
To keep rentals accountable, renters must photograph canoes before and after their trip and show those photos to staff at checkout; additionally, all equipment must be returned by 8:00 PM on the last day and renters must be 21 or older.
What the day feels like
What this rental feels like
The experience is straightforward and self‑directed: lightweight kevlar canoes sit at the Walker Lake Access for you to launch, while lifejackets, paddles and a rescue kit are staged through Widgawa Lodge. Rentals accommodate brief day excursions up to multi‑day itineraries within the operator's one‑to‑seven‑day window, with an administrative checkout on return that includes a required photo inspection.
