##About
Kayak Rentals
- Not everyone likes going to the gym. But who doesn’t love being on the water enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. Renting Kayaks and Stand Up Paddle Boards here at Lake Pleasant offers you the chance to get outside and enjoy your natural environment.
- The Perception Tribe 11.5 single kayak and 13.5 tandem kayak is about high quality, comfortable seating, and super stability. This is a fun boat that tracks well and performs. These kayaks have proven to be a great choice for beginners and experienced kayakers alike. Added length in the 11.5 means more speed and added storage. We have 16 single (1-person) kayaks and 8 tandem (2-person) kayaks.
