Frequently Asked Questions

Why aren't you here every weekend?

This is a new rental location we're trying, so we're not quite ready to have a permanent location like we do at Cook Park. Hopefully this will change in the future, but for now, we're holding rentals at Rood Bridge Park on these dates only. Thank you to the Oregon State Marine Board for making this pilot project possible.

How many people can go out in a canoe?

Typically, canoes can carry 3 people, two paddlers and a one adult passenger or two younger children in the middle.

Can I rent the kayak and take it somewhere else?

Nope! These boats are set up at Rood Bridge Park so you can explore the Tualatin River. All trips need to start and return from Rood Bridge boat launch.

Why do I need to complete a waiver for everyone?

All participants need to acknowledge the responsibility that goes with being on the water, including minors who need a parent or guardian to sign for them. This is an absolute requirement to rent a boat with us, and it must be done before getting on the water.

Can I take my dog with me?

Sure! If your dog likes to go out with you, that works for us. But keep in mind that we don't have doggy-lifejackets.

Why do I have to bring my rental back at the scheduled time if I started late?

We're a small nonprofit, and because of that we have a limited number of boats available in our fleet, especially at Rood Bridge. Even if you started late, we can't extend your rental past it's end time because we need to be able to use the equipment for the next group in the schedule. Please be considerate and respect the stated return time of your rental.

Why can't I reserve many boats for one time slot?

Since we're working with a limited fleet of kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards, it's likely that if you can't reserve as many boats as you were hoping to, it's because they're already rented by others and out on the water! Please contact us directly about scheduling group experiences.

If my friend has their own boat, can I rent one to go out with them?

Absolutely.
