Montour Preserve Boat Rentals
Use this page to reserve and schedule your kayak, paddleboard, paddle boat, canoe or other water craft rentals. Whether you are at the Preserve, and ready to rent right now, or if you plan and book your rental in the future…you are at the right place!
Four (maybe five) steps to rental…all required:
#1 Educate Yourself and Be Safe!
Your safety is our main concern.
Take a few minutes to learn the rules of the Montour Preserve and the basics of paddling and safety.
Watch the video (takes about 10 minutes to be learn basics)
for more education, there is a whole library of great videos here: https://www.americancanoe.org/page/Ed_videos
Riverside Adventure Company will also offer paddling classes on select weekends. You can schedule a class by clicking here.
#2 - Read our waiver
The waiver says that you have learned the rules of the Montour Preserve, watched the videos, accept the risks of paddling on the Montour Preserve, and hold all parties involved harmless for your decision to participate in this activity. You will agree to this waiver and the rules of the Montour Preserve when you check out.
#3 - Pick the boats you need and add them to the cart.
Use the menu below to pick all the boats you need for your adventure. Once you have selected all the boats and gear you need: add it to the cart and you can then CHECKOUT.
#4 - Reserve your time assuring your boats will be there when you arrive.
Reserving your boat “LOCKS IT IN”. This part of the process allows folks to ONLY reserve kayaks once at the your desired time. Without this portion of the reservation, your boat may or may not be in its locker when you come to use it. It’s VERY important that you reserve your time.
#5 - Schedule larger boats (weekends only).
On the weekends, we have staff, and we have fun, and we can help you with bigger boats.
Extra paddle boards, Paddle boats, Canoes, Sailboats, Wind surfers…all possible on the weekends. (Some restrictions may apply to sailing options)
Weekday vs. Weekend Rentals

Weekday vs. Weekend Rentals 〰️
We offer only kayaks and a Paddleboard during the week. On the weekends, we offer more boat varieties because we have staff to help you with the larger and more complicated offerings. From Canoes, to paddleboat to sailboats and Wind Surfers…weekend have more choices...and more activities. That being said, being able to help yourself to boats whenever you want (during park hours) self-serve is pretty awesome.
