How It Works

When do I need to pay for my rental?

Payment will be taken upon item pickup. Payments cannot be made online. Cash is not accepted. Payments must be made with a credit or debit card. 

Is there an age requirement?

Paddlers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Paddlers must be over 10 years old to be in a solo kayak. Paddlers under 10 may ride along in a tandem kayak. 

Where can I take the kayaks?

Kayaks will be launched directly into the Grand River and can be taken anywhere north of the park on the river. Kayaks cannot travel south on the Grand River due to the Damn below the sixth street bridge.

Do I have to reserve items in advance?

It is helpful if you do, but you're also welcome to walk up to our rental station to check availability. Reservations close 12 hours before each event.

To place a reservation with our team, call 616-250-6652 or email [email protected]. Our phone is not always attended, please leave a voicemail and we will get back to you.
