No small children (paddler must be able to paddle his/her own rental kayak).*

*When making reservations, please inform us of any small children in your group that plan on paddling a solo rental kayak. Often, 8, 9, and 10 year old children are capable, but please just let us know your particular circumstance when making your reservation. Thank you!
