>>>>CLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR BOATS NOW<<<<
WE HAVE MOVED TO ONLINE BOOKING! Remember to book kayaks before you come as we move into our off season*
*There is a $5 deposit per kayak due upon booking, which goes toward the price of your rental~ you will be responsible for paying the remaining balance at the time of your rental. Deposits are refundable if you cancel 12 hours or more in advance or in the event of inclement weather. Confirmation emails typically end up in your junk mail folder, unfortunately. If you’d like to paddle any other route besides the canal, please note it in the comment section when making your reservation! Please also note that on week days there may only be one person working meaning that they are also assuming the role of shuttling people back from the endpoint and may not always be on site, so last minute/ day of reservations may have to wait a little while****

CANAL ROUTE:

Savannah Rapids Kayak Rental is conveniently located alongside the historic Augusta Canal inside the Savannah Rapids Park and Pavilion. We have a launch site at our location and friendly staff to help you take off and get started on our most popular route down the Augusta Canal to our pick up location at the boat ramp inside the Lake Olmstead Park, where our staff will help you out of your kayaks, load them up on our trailers, and provide shuttle services back to the Savannah Rapids Pavillion if needed. This roughly 5 mile trip is perfect for beginners with a nice easy current assisting you; it takes people about 2 to 2 and a half hours on average to complete. We provide everything you need except for water, sunscreen, and maybe a zip lock bag for your valuables!

· You may want to stage a second car at the boat ramp at Lake Olmstead to avoid shuttle price (address is 2200 broad street or type in julien smith casino for Apple Maps)! Another way to avoid the shuttle price is by biking- we can bring your bike down and you can ride it back (or vice versa if you have your own bike- ride it up from endpoint and we will bring it back down to you)! If you don’t have a bike but would like to do this, rent one from The Bicycle Peddler who’s shop is located just up from us in the Savannah Rapids Park; give them a call at (706)373-4519 for info on bikes.
