Transportation Details

While we don’t currently offer shuttle service for paddlers, we take care of the gear logistics so you can enjoy your time on the water. We will deliver the kayaks, paddles, and life jackets to your chosen launch point and pick them up at your designated take-out location. You'll be responsible for arranging your own transportation to the start and from the end of your trip. We hope to add shuttle service in the near future!

How it works

Drive to the take-out point (where your trip will end) and leave a vehicle there.
Carpool or drive with a friend to the launch point (where we’ll meet you with your gear).
Enjoy your paddle!
When you reach the take-out point, load yourself up and head out—we’ll handle the equipment pick-up.

We keep a close eye on water levels and weather and will contact you should your rental
