Paddle the Harrison River
The core of this rental is a self‑guided descent of the scenic Harrison River — you launch from Killer’s Cove and follow the river within the boundaries shown on the provided map, keeping inside the white buoys or downstream as directed.
Safety equipment and a mini kayaking course
Each rental includes all required safety equipment, a light jacket, whistle, paddle and a map of the boundaries; the Killer’s Cove team offers a short instructional mini‑course so first‑time paddlers can get comfortable before launching.
Hourly to full‑day options
Rentals are available in flexible blocks from one hour up to a full‑day (8 hours), letting you tailor a short outing or a longer run downriver; rudders come included and a spray skirt is optional.
