THE LAUNCH

Dog River Park: Simple access to the water

Rentals begin at Dog River Park, a single meeting point for launching your three-hour outing — an efficient start for either a quick solo run or a group paddle.

THE FLEXIBILITY

Options for solo paddlers, families, and groups

The fleet includes multiple kayak sizes and options for kids, so one person aged 16 or older can rent while carrying a child as a passenger, or you can pick multiple boats for a group paddle.

THE UPGRADES

Add a guide or make it a party

If you want more structure or a social outing, the operator offers guide and party upgrades to evolve a self-guided rental into a led excursion or group event.
