  • Water Trail Rentals (blue dots): Paddling from one access point to another along a water trail. Shuttling typically offered.
  • Lake & Reservoir Rentals (yellow dots): Paddling in a large body of water where the put-in and get-out are at the same access point.
  • Off-site Rentals (red dots): Typically a rental service where you pick-up, transport, enjoy, and return the rental yourself. Delivery and/or other options may be available.

Watercraft type, number available to rent, and services such as shuttling or guided tours vary for each outfitter. Please contact the outfitters for more details.
