About

We will bring your equipment rental to your river house, vacation river rental home or to our launch location at The KP Hole Park.

All kayak rentals include paddles and life jackets.

KP Hole Launch The KP Hole Park is the perfect location to launch from as it is located in the middle of the Rainbow River. Therefore you have two options. Option 1 - You can go up river to Indian Creek, The Big Blue Lagoon and the Bubbling Springs and then simply kayak back down river returning to the KP Hole Park avoiding all shuttling fees. Option 2 - You can go down river to the darker waters and exit at Blue Run Park where you will be picked up and shuttled back to the KP Hole Park. There is a $10 return shuttle fee per person.
