Paddling Around Donner Lake
Going on vacation is all about relaxing and taking some time for yourself. Donner Lake offers incredible views that are made even better when you see them from the water. For your upcoming trip, make sure you spend time on the water paddling around Donner Lake. Donner Lake Watersports is the onsite rental company for Donner Lake, and you can find them at two locations along the shore.
Kayaks are always a fan favorite where you can easily navigate the water by paddle. You will find both single and double kayaks available to rent. Single kayaks are perfect for those who want to paddle around at their own pace and have easier mobility exploring. If you have kids traveling with you, a double kayak may be the preferred rental. Double kayaks offer two seats inside the craft easily allowing kids to enjoy the fun as you paddle them around. You can also choose between sit inside and sit on top kayaks too. Sit inside kayaks are the standard kayaks found on most lakes where you are seated inside the craft. Sit on top kayaks have a less deep craft that are typically known as ocean kayaks.
If you want to take the whole family out on the water, consider renting a canoe. These crafts hold up to 4 people allowing everyone to join in on the fun! Canoes are a classic mountain craft and are great to bring snacks and drinks with you.
Last but not least are stand up paddleboards. These 12-foot paddleboards are easy to learn on the fly. You can easily stand up on the paddleboard as you navigate the water and take a seat when you want to relax. All of these paddle crafts are available through Donner Lake Watersports by the hour, half day, and full day for rentals!
