Evening Paddles

Paddling at sunset is a magical experience and great for spotting wildlife that emerges at dusk! On selected dates we extend our rental program into special evening hours. We accept reservations to rent or self-launch a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard 7:00 - 9:00 pm in early Summer and 6:30 - 8:30 pm late Summer.
