The Details
The Boat Hut
Our rental kiosk can be found at Buttle Lake Campground boat launch. It’s the first left, once you’re in the campground. Hours of operation listed below.
Half and Full Day Rentals
We offer half-day (3 hour) and full-day (6 hours, morning start only) rentals directly adjacent to the lake for convenience. Book now, or stop by the Boat Hut to rent on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Overnight Rentals
We are excited to offer overnight canoe and single kayak rentals in 2025 to those that have experience with multi-day canoeing and kayaking. If you wish to transport the boat to a different launch point, you will need to come prepared with both the knowledge and appropriate equipment to transport the boat on your vehicle. To reserve a canoe or kayak overnight book here.
The Fine Print
Participants 19 and younger require a parent/guardian signature to rent.
All paddlers are required to sign a Rental Agreement, Assumption of Risks and Waiver of Liability document prior to renting.
Pets
Pets are allowed in canoes and on sit-on-top kayaks but must have their own lifejacket. At this time we do not offer pet lifejacket rentals, so you will need to come prepared with your own.
Stop by and say hello.
