Our downtown Flint rental season is cancelled for the remainder of 2022 due to the chemical spill that began on the Flint River on June 15th, 2022. We are still hosting guided paddle trips and private group rentals upstream of Stepping Stone Falls on the Flint River and on local lakes. Please check out our Guided Paddles page for more information on those opportunities.
Rentals:
COVID-19 Note: Masks are required while in the van and while interacting with our staff. We thank you for understanding while we work to keep you and our staff safe.
We have implemented contactless reservation, waiver, and payment systems, and a thorough sanitizing process for all equipment after every use. Outdoor recreational activities like kayaking are healthy and encouraged during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we hope to see you soon.
Your rental trip begins at Kayak Flint, where you will park, pick up your equipment, and launch from the stepped landing on site. The approximately 3-mile trip takes 1-2 hours, depending on water levels. When you land at Mitson Boulevard/Riverview Landing, we will pick up you and your equipment with our van and trailer and return you to Kayak Flint. Every rental includes a boat, paddles, and life jackets.
If you have your own kayak, we also offer stand-alone shuttling service. You can launch from Kayak Flint, and we will pick up you and your equipment from the Mitson Landing with our van and trailer and return you to Kayak Flint for a reduced rate.
