Kayak Rentals

Explore the Saco River by Kayak

Adventure Starts on the Water

Paddle this gentle section of the beautiful Saco River in one of our kayaks. Have a picnic on a sandbar, relax, and take in the stunning scenery of the Mount Washington Valley. We offer registered campground guests a shuttle service up river to the drop-off point, along with all equipment. You’ll paddle downriver approximately 5 miles and pull your kayak out at our campground boat ramp — a 3 to 4 hour trip that’s a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors and the river.

Kayak trips run on Saturdays only. Departure is at 10:00 AM — please check in by 9:45 AM. A minimum of 2 guests is required to book.
