Description
4-Hour Take-and-Go Kayak & Paddleboard Rentals in Longmont, CO
Grab a kayak or paddleboard for half a day and get out on one of the lakes or reservoirs near Longmont. Choose from a single kayak, a double kayak or inflatable paddleboard, or the largest option built to hold up to 350 lbs — whatever fits your plans for the day.
Lake McIntosh is a popular, family-friendly choice with usually calm water, and Union Reservoir and Gross Reservoir are both good options if you want to venture a little further. Four hours is enough time to paddle a longer stretch of water, take a break on shore, and still have plenty of time left before you need to head back.
Duration
- 4-hour rental
Location / Where to Meet
- Pick up your gear at the shop, 463 Main Street, Longmont, CO 80501
- This is a self-transport rental — gear isn't delivered, so you'll need to load it up and drive it to the water yourself
- The kayak is about 9 feet long and the smallest paddleboard is about 10 feet, so plan on a truck bed or roof rack with your own straps if it won't fit inside your vehicle inflated
- Gear comes with a hand pump; an electric pump that plugs into your car is available for an additional fee and cuts inflation time roughly in half

FAQs
What is an iSUP?
iSUP stands for Inflatable Stand Up Paddleboard
Do I need to book in advance?
Booking in advance is highly recommended, especially on weekends and during peak summer months, to guarantee availability.
Do you deliver, or do I need to transport the gear myself?
Gear isn't delivered. The kayak is about 9 feet long and may fit in some vehicles, but paddleboards (10 feet and up) almost certainly won't fit inflated — plan on a truck bed or roof rack with your own straps.
How long do they take to inflate?
By hand, the kayak takes about 5–7 minutes and the paddleboard takes about 10–15 minutes. An electric pump that plugs into your car is available for an extra fee and cuts that time roughly in half.
Where do you recommend paddling?
Lake McIntosh's south side is a popular, family-friendly option with usually calm water (be mindful of parking, since it's in a neighborhood). Union Reservoir and Gross Reservoir are both good options too.
Which craft should I choose?
The Single Kayak seats one paddler, the Double Kayak or iSUP option gives you a 2-person kayak or a paddleboard, and "The Kush" is the largest option, holding up to 350 lbs — a good fit for bigger riders or two people sharing one board.
