Description

Kayak and Paddleboard Rentals – Drake Park Delivery

Ready to paddle, sip, and soak up the best of Bend? We’ll bring your kayak or paddleboard right to the dock by the footbridge in Drake Park, so all you have to do is show up and paddle. Since there’s no parking at the put-in, we recommend parking downtown and walking across the river to meet us.

From there, you can enjoy a scenic paddle through Drake Park to the base of the whitewater park and back, or explore the calm waters of Mirror Pond down to Brooks Park before making your way upstream again.

After your paddle, relax on the grass with a craft beer and lunch overlooking Mirror Pond at Bend Brewing Company, or grab a coffee or brew at The Commons Café. With downtown Bend just steps across the footbridge, you’ll have plenty of great spots to choose from.
