About this experience

** Self Guided Paddle Board Trip**

** One Vehicle needed **

If you don't want to be herded like cattle you've come to the right outfitter. Book with us and enjoy a day on the famous Lower Salt River, on your own time.

Meet us at our shop and let one of our staff members set you up to float to Salt River like a local. There is plenty of wildlife to see including wild horses, river otters, big horn sheep, and a wide range of bird species. Enjoy multiple resting spots on the river to pull on shore and enjoy a nice swim. The river is class one river and is known to be very beginner friendly. We have all the knowledge, equipment, and tools to help you get out on the water. All you need is one vehicle and a drive for new adventure - let us take care of the rest.

Possible trip routes range from 1 - 5 hrs. and depend on how long of a trip you would prefer. We will go over a map in the office and help pick a drop in point that best fits your group.

What you'll see

Book your rental with us today for your next adventure.

Rental includes life jacket, paddle, air pump (If transporting deflated), and your board.

No late fees if returned same day. We believe that when you're out in nature's beauty the worst thing you can do is worry about time.

One vehicle is needed to transport the equipment since it is an industry standard that no rental shops can operate directly on the river. We are conveniently located 11 minutes away from the river. We have been doing this for years and there is no vehicle that we can't get equipment on to this date. We utilize 4"x4" inch foam blocks to protect the vehicle and professional grade paddle board straps to secure the equipment to the roof.

*This process is 100% car friendly and to this day not one single customers vehicle has been damaged in any way.*

We can provide the boards for you already inflated (preferred for convenience) or in transport bags deflated.

If you are traveling with only on vehicle you can utilize the Salt River Tubing bus shuttle to take you back to your vehicle once you have completed your trip. The shuttle is 18 dollars and you can purchase a ticket online on their website prior to save time.

Once you arrive at your reservation time slot a team member will give you personal trip advise based on how long you would like to be on the river and what your main interest are. Lower Salt Rentals prides itself on that classic customer service that seems to be rare these days.

Possible trip routes range from 1 to 6 hours and depend on how long of a trip you would prefer and if you will be using the bus shuttle or not. After reserving please feel free to call us if you have any questions.
