Sweetwater SUP Rentals is a premier, full-service stand-up paddleboard and kayak rental provider operating at two locations: the Kayak Launch on Lake River in Ridgefield, Washington, and Horseshoe Lake in Woodland, Washington. The business has offered paddleboard and kayak rentals in the area since 2013.
The 2026 season runs weekends starting April 26 in spring, then daily from June 12 through Labor Day Weekend (closed Mondays), typically 10am to 6pm with the last equipment going out at 4pm; hours may be reduced for weather or low reservation volume. Same-day reservations can be made by phone, while advance bookings (more than 24 hours out) run through an online booking system.
Pricing runs with a 2-hour minimum: paddleboards and single kayaks run $40 for up to 2 hours ($15 per additional hour), tandem (two-person) kayaks run $80 for up to 2 hours ($30 per additional hour), and youth kayaks (up to 110 lbs) run $30 for up to 2 hours ($10 per additional hour), with sales tax included in the final cost. Every rental includes a paddle, life jacket, and whistle, with complimentary cell phone dry bags available while supplies last, and basic instruction provided at the dock.
Dogs are welcome on kayaks but not on paddleboards, due to damage from scratches on the board deck. Customers under 18 need a signed waiver from a parent or guardian, and staff prioritize paddle safety, including proper life jacket fit, right-of-way awareness around motorized boats on Lake River, and guidance on what to do in the rare event of a capsize.
For visitors to the Ridgefield or Woodland area looking to rent a paddleboard or kayak, Sweetwater SUP Rentals offers a well-reviewed, safety-focused rental operation with two lake and river locations.
