Mauthe Lake’s small, sheltered water invites quick escapes: choose a sit‑in or sit‑on‑top single, a tandem kayak, or a canoe and set out by the hour. PaddleBreak Adventures operates self‑serve rentals that include the essentials so you can focus on the lake, the light and the ease of a short outing.

Outing Highlights

THE FLEET

Single, tandem and canoe options

Rentals include sit‑in or sit‑on‑top single kayaks with multiple footrests, a tandem kayak for two, or a canoe sized for two adults (or two adults plus one child). Choose the boat that matches your group and skill level.

THE SETUP

Self‑serve, hourly rentals with basic gear supplied

Rentals are available by the hour (1, 2, 3 or 4 hours) and come with a paddle and a PFD so you can launch quickly and paddle at your own pace.

THE RULES

Clear age and weight limits keep things safe

Bookings must be made by adults 18 or older; single kayaks are available to ages 9–17, and children ages 4–8 may ride in a tandem or canoe with an adult. Boats also have published weight limits to observe.

What the day feels like

What this trip feels like

This is an exercise in uncomplicated paddling: pick a rental period, fit your PFD and paddle, and spend 1–4 hours exploring calm water. The self‑serve model keeps the outing informal — short loops, shoreline sighting and quiet stretches of lake are all within reach for paddlers of modest experience.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Beginners & casual paddlersWell suited: hourly rentals and included gear let beginners try paddling without a major commitment, and sit‑on or sit‑in options accommodate different comfort levels.
2
Families with young childrenGood for families when children are paired with adults: ages 4–8 may ride in a tandem or canoe with an adult; younger kids should be accompanied and follow the operator’s age rules.
3
Solo teenagersTeens aged 9–17 can rent single kayaks, making short self‑paced outings appropriate for supervised teens who meet that age threshold.
4
Weight‑conscious paddlersCheck the kayak and canoe weight limits before you go: single kayaks 250–275 lbs, tandems 550 lbs, and canoes 600 lbs dictate which boat will be safe and stable.
