MORE DETAILS

RENTAL INCLUDES
Kayak or paddle board, life vest, paddle, pre-paddle orientation, and river overview

ACTIVITY LEVEL
Family-oriented paddling is best in the morning before 1 pm. This is safe, calm paddling environment with proximity to the shoreline at all times. Paddlers enjoy flat, calm water in a 5mph zone with very little boat traffic, particularly in the Oxbow. Paddleboarding at lower tide levels is not suitable for beginners. Paddling into the Oxbow generally requires over 1.5ft on the tide chart (we will advise you regarding the route)

PARKING
Plenty of parking is available in the 5th Street Parking Garage across the street from Riverfront Plaza. Street parking is limited to 2 hours on the street with no limits on Sunday.

WHAT TO WEAR
Water shoes are not essential but are preferred by many of our guests. Others prefer flip-flops or paddling barefoot. Dress in layers and synthetic clothing (it will dry faster than cotton).

WHAT TO BRING
Drinking water, sunscreen, light towel. We suggest using our dry bags or dry boxes for phones, wallets, and keys, or bring your own. We have a sports lanyard for your cellphone available for $20, free with our audio guide/navigational assistant.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Reservations canceled up to 48 hours before your scheduled launch will be refunded.
