Back Country Rentals is a local, family-owned kayak rental business based in Spokane Valley, Washington, giving renters easy access to numerous nearby lakes and rivers, many with beach or boat ramp access, swimming, picnic tables, and easy parking. The rent shack, located off Argonne one block north of Sprague Avenue, equips renters with a recreational kayak for a full day out on the water.

The fleet includes stable, name-brand recreational kayaks from Pelican and Lifetime, designed to track straight and easy to haul, move, and carry regardless of experience level. Every rental includes the kayak, paddles, and a life jacket, with optional add-ons available including a waterproof dry bag, natural sunscreen, and a fishing net option. Staff walk every renter through how to carry, secure, haul, and use the equipment before heading out, and a 4-hour rental option is available at a reduced rate for those who don’t need a full day.

Renters must be 18 or older with a valid, current government ID, and must sign a liability waiver for each user; an adult 18+ can rent equipment for a youth user but must be the legal guardian signing that waiver. Rental cost is paid via credit card at pickup, and renters sign a rental agreement covering the cost of any damaged or lost equipment. Each boat must be reserved individually online to hold it for a specific pickup window, typically scheduled for early morning arrival, and renters need a vehicle with a bed, roof racks, or a trailer to safely haul their rental.

For those looking for an affordable, straightforward way to get out on Spokane Valley’s local lakes and rivers, Back Country Rentals offers easy, all-day recreational kayak rentals from a convenient pickup location off Argonne.
