Whether you’re gliding across the calm waters of Cherry Creek Swim Beach, navigating the tranquil stretches near Boulder, or enjoying the lively swells at Lakewood and Longmont, this company provides tailored experiences for all levels of paddlers and water enthusiasts.

At the heart of their offerings is a strong connection to the Front Range’s diverse water landscapes.

Adventure perks include timed rentals ranging from hour-long dips to four-hour group excursions, allowing plenty of time to absorb Colorado’s unique natural elements—like the high desert scrub and cottonwoods lining reservoirs, or the unexpected wildlife you might spot paddling quietly across the water’s surface. Special events such as Full Moon Paddles and Race Clinics offer community connection and competitive thrills alike.

This company stands out by combining instruction, group packages, and seasonal events that elevate simple water outings into memorable adventures. Their focus on regional waterscapes and tailored programming ensures every trip is fresh, exciting, and rooted in the real rhythms of Colorado’s aquatic environment.

Adventure Tips

Arrive early for popular rental times

Especially on weekends or during special events like Full Moon Paddles, arriving early ensures you get your preferred equipment and slot.

Wear water-ready footwear

Footwear designed for wet conditions protects your feet off the board and during launches at rocky or sandy shorelines.

Check wind and weather conditions

Lake and reservoir winds can change quickly—plan your paddle within calmer morning or evening windows when possible.

Secure pets during Dog Paddle sessions

Bring a well-fitted canine life vest and leash when joining specifically designated dog-friendly paddles for safety on the water.
