The Single Kayak option lets one person glide this route on a one-hour outing (with longer rental options available), moving through the quieter edges of Wisconsin Dells and returning to shore with provided life jackets and paddles.

What the day feels like

What the Paddle Feels Like

This is a concise, low-commitment paddle: launch from Lake Delton, settle into a single kayak, and follow Dell Creek’s quiet channel toward the Mirror Lake Dam. The one-hour option frames the trip as a brief excursion into nature, while longer rentals give you more time on the water; life jackets and paddles are provided to keep the logistics straightforward.
