SUP Rental - Basalt, CO

Stand Up Paddleboard Rental in Basalt, CO - Roaring Fork Valley

Grab an inflatable paddleboard and head out to one of the lakes, reservoirs, or rivers scattered across the Roaring Fork Valley, from Aspen down through Basalt, Carbondale, and Glenwood Springs. The board comes clean and deflated, so it packs down small and travels easily to wherever you're headed.

Popular spots include Stillwater and Northstar Preserve or Twin Lakes and Grizzly Reservoir near Aspen; Ruedi Reservoir, Chapman Reservoir, or Naste Lake around Basalt, El Jebel, and Willits; Dinkle Lake or the Roaring Fork River near Carbondale; and Rifle Gap, Harvey Gap, the Colorado River, or the Roaring Fork River out toward Glenwood Springs. Wherever you paddle, you'll have the high alpine scenery of the valley around you the whole time.

Location of Rental Pickup

1. Meet your rental team at the pickup location, 1460 East Valley Road, Basalt, CO 81621
   
2. This is a trailer pickup point, not a staffed storefront — your rental team meets you there only when gear is going out or coming back, so plan for about 30 minutes' notice before pickup or return
   
3. If an evening pickup doesn't work for your schedule, you can reserve for the next day and choose an early pickup time instead
