Self-Guided Kayak Rentals at Lake Powell: Paddle Antelope Canyon from Antelope Point

On a bright morning at Lake Powell, east of Page, Arizona, the water is glass against towering red walls. RENTALS by lakepowellpaddleexpress offers full-day, self-guided kayak and paddleboard rentals that drop you straight into those cliffs. Gear is delivered to the bottom of the Antelope Point Public Launch Ramp (end of N22B off Hwy 98) or the Stateline Launch Area, and after a brief safety orientation you push off to explore shoreline canyons, hidden coves, and open water at your own pace.

The route possibilities are simple and spectacular: paddle into narrow finger canyons carved in Navajo sandstone, skirt arches and uneven ledges sculpted over millions of years, or glide past sheer walls streaked with iron-rich reds and pale cross-bedding. Because this is self-guided, you choose whether to hunt quiet bays, watch the light burn the cliff faces at midday, or time a sunset return. Rentals include a high-quality single or tandem kayak, paddle, and properly fitted life jacket; tandems are strictly two-person only.

The experience is as much about navigation and rhythm as it is scenery. Lake Powell is a reservoir created by Glen Canyon Dam in 1963, so water levels and access points can change seasonally; planning your route and launch matters. The operator emphasizes basic safety: arrive 30 minutes early for check-in and the Paddle Talk safety briefing, and remember all boats must be returned before sunset.

Why book? If you want independence on a dramatic western lake without the mechanical fuss of a motorboat, this rental lets you read the water and feel the current against your hull. It’s beginner-friendly but rewarding for paddlers who enjoy route-finding and quiet exploration. It’s also a practical way to reach slot-canyon mouths and shoreline viewpoints that larger craft can’t access.

For travelers staying in Page, Arizona, this service removes the logistics of hauling gear and gives you a single, straightforward pick-up and drop-off. Bring enough water and sun protection, pick a launch time to match your stamina, and treat weather windows with respect — afternoon storms can roll in fast. RENTALS caters to people who want to move through the landscape under their own power while soaking in some of the most striking sandstone scenery in the Southwest.

Families appreciate that children age 5 and up can join, and delivery removes the need to haul boats. Because guests are responsible for navigation, carry a waterproof map or GPS, extra drinking water, and a compact first-aid kit. Respect posted launch rules at Antelope Point Public Launch Ramp and Stateline Launch Area, and follow PFD requirements. If you encounter changing water levels, adjust plans—shallow channels can strand craft. Return times are enforced to keep operations smooth and to protect shoreline habitat.
