]]>The question of where to rent a kayak, SUP or canoe seems to be an ongoing question. So we have decided to give you an answer.
We have browsed the web, contacted “our people”, and searched local classified ads. What we came up with is a list of three locations in Sioux Falls and two locations right outside of Sioux Falls at our nearby State Parks. Unfortunately, a lot of you have the question if the rental companies transport or deliver the kayaks. We only found one company that offers pick up delivery for an extra fee depending where the location is.
Here is a list of Kayak, SUP and Canoe rentals in town.
