Rood Bridge River Rentals

As a nonprofit organization, our capacity is relatively limited. We're offering more rental dates in 2024 than in the past few years, and future rental decisions will be based upon the success of our rentals this year and a dialogue with Hillsboro Parks and Recreation.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Since we're working with a limited fleet of kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards, it's likely because they're already rented by others and out on the water! Please contact us directly about scheduling group experiences.

Absolutely.
