KP Hole Launch: Two distinct journeys from a central put‑in
Launch from the KP Hole Park in the middle of the Rainbow River and either paddle upriver to Indian Creek, Big Blue Lagoon and the Bubbling Springs before returning to KP Hole, or drift downstream toward the darker waters and exit at Blue Run Park for a shuttle back.
Fully delivered rentals with paddles and life jackets included
Your Quatro sit‑on kayak rental arrives where you are staying or at the KP Hole launch; all rentals come with paddles and life jackets so you can focus on the river.
Options for shuttle or self‑return
Choose a no‑shuttle return by paddling back to KP Hole after upstream exploration, or exit at Blue Run Park and take the operator shuttle back to KP Hole for a $10 per person return fee.
