Fort Worth Kayak Rentals (Nature Lovers Kayak Rental) offers affordable single-person kayak rentals for $30 a day, located about one mile from the entrance to the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge in Fort Worth, Texas. The business operates from a home base rather than directly on the water, so renters need a pickup truck to transport the kayaks themselves.
Sit-on-top Kayaks ($30/day, hold up to 300 lbs) are well suited to open lake paddling on nearby Eagle Mountain Lake or Lake Worth, while Sit-inside Kayaks ($30/day) are ideal for exploring the slow-moving river at the Fort Worth Nature Center. Every rental includes paddles and a life vest — no tandem kayaks or paddleboards are offered.
The business’s favorite local spot is the Fort Worth Nature Center’s Big River Canoe Launch, where paddlers can put in at the Cross Timbers trailhead and enjoy a mostly shaded river route all the way up to the Eagle Mountain Lake Dam and back — roughly a 3-hour round trip. The Nature Center charges $6 per person to enter and closes sharply at 5pm, so timing is important. Sunset Park on Lake Worth, just a mile from the rental location on Jacksboro Highway, is another favorite — a free, family-friendly cove with shaded picnic tables, grills, a sandy swimming beach, a playground, and restrooms, best suited to first-time paddlers when winds stay under 5 mph.
