Leavenworth Outdoor Center is a river outfitter based in Leavenworth, Washington, offering rentals and guided trips on the Icicle and Wenatchee Rivers. The company provides kayak rentals (2‑mile Wenatchee and 4‑mile Icicle), paddleboard rentals (2‑mile and 4‑mile Icicle/Wenatchee options), guided kayak trips and lessons, and family-friendly tubing routes (2‑mile Wenatchee and 4‑mile Icicle/Wenatchee). All necessary gear is provided for many trips, including wetsuits for chilly days on select kayak rentals. Several trips include shuttle service to launch points and shore-side exits where noted.
Guided options are available for paddlers who prefer instruction or added oversight; the guided kayak trip and lesson is a two‑hour offering that combines skill-building with river observation. The 2‑mile kayak rental lists a guided departure at 10am. Tubing itineraries emphasize a relaxed float with sandy beaches and easy access, and the longer 4‑mile float notes that pets are welcome on that route. Paddleboard rentals include shuttle service for the longer launches and are offered for participants of varying skill levels. Many trips are described as suitable for all ages, supporting family outings and multigenerational groups. Guided kayak trips highlight mountain views and birdwatching opportunities, and the 2‑mile paddleboard rental typically provides about an hour on the water for casual paddlers seeking scenic, low‑effort activity near Leavenworth river corridors. All descriptions reflect published trip summaries and logistics. Leavenworth Outdoor Center focuses on straightforward river access, equipment rental, guided instruction, and shuttle-supported launches so visitors can choose short family floats or extended paddling trips amid mountain scenery.
