About
We have a large rental fleet of Kayaks. You have the option of taking them with you from our shop, launching from our dock on Rangeley Lake, or having them delivered and picked up at your destination. All rentals include paddles and life vests.
Paddle the area’s scenic rivers such as the Kennebago and Cupsuptic Rivers; tour the ponds to view the common loon and mergansers or cranes and herons; or explore the coves and islands of one or more of the seven lakes in the Rangeley chain (Rangeley Lake, Mooselookmeguntic Lake, Cupsuptic Lake, Upper & Lower Richardson Lakes, Kennebago Lake, and Umbagog Lake). All local waters offer excellent paddling for both beginners and experts alike.
