Kayaks, Paddleboards, River Tubes, and Packrafts made for adventure. Our expedition-grade inflatable gear is perfect for exploring our 20+ publicly accessible nearby lakes.
The Black Hills has many flatwater, calm lakes that are great for kayaking and paddleboarding. Our self-transport Kayak & Paddleboard Rentals give you the freedom and flexibility to explore them at your leisure with easy transportation and setup in mind. Expedition-grade inflatables remove the hassle and risk of rooftop transportation. We feature gear by Kokopelli Kayaks and Sol Paddleboards.
Inflatable gear is an excellent addition to the world of paddling exploration. Lifting, storing, and transporting hardshell boats is work and takes up space! Inflatables pack small and weigh less, allowing for easier adventure. Not all inflatables are made the same! We feature gear made by paddlers for paddlers. Try one today and see what you think!
Lake days with the littles are the best! Our enclosed bottom river tubes and packraft options keep everyone happy and safe. Packrafts are single-person boats that maneuver like a kayak and have the stability of a raft.
When it comes to kayaking in the Black Hills, you've got options. From big reservoirs to small lakes. Here are a few of our favorite places.
