WhatsSup Stand Up Paddle & Kayak operates a rental concession at the Park at Bothell Landing on the Sammamish River, one of three Puget Sound-area locations alongside Log Boom Park in Kenmore and Wilmot Gateway Park in Woodinville. The Bothell Landing park itself features restored historic buildings, a playground, amphitheater, and a free hand-carry boat launch, with plenty of free parking and easy access to Bothell’s historic Main Street for a bite to eat before or after paddling.
WhatsSup offers single and double kayak rentals well suited to two adults and a small child, with sit-on-top kayaks as the most popular option for their easy entry and exit. Canoes are also available at the Bothell location specifically. Every rental includes paddles, PFDs (for guests 30 lbs and over), and instruction to help first-timers get comfortable before heading out. Guests must be 18 or older to rent, with parents required to accompany minors on the water.
The Sammamish River offers a shaded, peaceful paddling route well suited to guests who prefer calmer water without strong currents, with past paddlers reporting sightings of cranes and wild blackberries along the banks. A Combo Adventure option lets guests paddle from Bothell Landing all the way to the second location at Log Boom Park in Kenmore for a longer, one-way route.
Reservations are required and can be made online, with contact also available by phone or email. Major credit cards are accepted, and sales tax is not included in listed prices.
For visitors to Bothell looking to kayak, paddleboard, or canoe the Sammamish River, WhatsSup offers an easy, well-reviewed rental option right at the Park at Bothell Landing’s public launch.
