Explore partnershipsPortland is a paddler’s paradise, offering access to calm urban waterways, scenic rivers, and adventurous whitewater rapids. Whether you’re gliding under Portland’s iconic bridges on the Willamette River, exploring the Columbia River Gorge, or heading to a serene mountain lake, renting a kayak is the easiest way to get on the water.
From peaceful paddles to thrilling rapids, Portland has something for every kayaker. Here are three incredible spots to launch your adventure:
Flowing right through the heart of Portland, the Willamette River is a fantastic kayaking destination. Rent a kayak and paddle past downtown skyscrapers, under historic bridges, and around scenic spots like Ross Island.
For a more adventurous experience, head to the Columbia River Gorge, just 30 minutes from Portland. Popular launch points like Rooster Rock State Park and Government Island offer stunning scenery, calm waters, and opportunities for longer paddling trips.
For a peaceful mountain lake experience, drive up to Trillium Lake near Mount Hood. With breathtaking views of the peak reflecting in the water, this calm and picturesque spot is perfect for a relaxing day of paddling.
Why Renting Kayaks Is the Key to Effortless Adventures
Renting a kayak is a smart and convenient option for anyone eager to explore Seattle’s stunning waterways. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or trying kayaking for the first time, rentals make it easy to hit the water fully equipped and hassle-free. With top-quality gear and flexible options, you can enjoy kayaking without the cost or responsibility of owning your own kayak.
Cost-Effective For occasional paddlers, renting is far more affordable than purchasing a kayak and accessories. You only pay for what you need, when you need it, making it perfect for those who paddle a few times a year.
Convenient for Travelers Visiting Seattle and don’t want to transport a kayak? Rental services at locations like Lake Union, Lake Washington, and Alki Beach provide easy access to top paddling spots without the hassle of bringing your own equipment.
No Storage Worries Owning a kayak requires significant storage space, which may not be an option for everyone. Renting eliminates the need for storage, making it ideal for urban dwellers with limited space.
Flexibility Whether you want a short outing or a full-day adventure, rentals provide the flexibility to choose the right amount of time for your paddling plans.
Choose from single, tandem, or specialized kayaks like touring or fishing models to suit your adventure. Rentals offer the perfect fit for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.
Safety first! A properly fitted life jacket is a must-have for any kayaking trip and is typically included with rentals to ensure a secure and comfortable experience.
Keep your drinks and snacks fresh during your trip. A small, waterproof cooler is perfect for enjoying a picnic on the water or at a scenic shoreline stop.
