Kayaks are our most maneuverable crafts. Glide across the beautiful Elk River with ease. We offer single and tandem (2 person) kayaks which are perfect for those wanting to float alone or with their bestfriend/significant other. This also happens to be our quickest craft, so for those that don’t want to be on the water all day Kayaks are perfect for you.

A River Ranch Favorite for All

Crave a little more adventure? Slide into a kayak.
Sit-on-top kayaks give you the freedom to explore the river at your own pace — smooth, steady, and seriously fun. Paddle solo or ride tandem with someone who’s just getting the hang of it. Either way, it’s your ride, your rhythm. From laid-back floats to splashy stretches, kayaks are perfect for those who want a closer connection to the water and a little more control in the current.

When the group’s ready to float — be the one who grabs the paddle.
