Niagara Kayak Rentals.
Kayak rentals on the lower Niagara River from Niagara-on-the-Lake, including a 5–6 mile downriver paddle from Queenston Heights
The brief.
Niagara Kayak Rentals is a small commercial kayak outfitter based at 45 Front Street in Niagara-on-the-Lake, launching paddlers onto the lower Niagara River and the Lake Ontario shoreline at the river's mouth. Opened in 2020 by a lifetime Niagara-area local, the operation runs three duration-based products from two launch points — Queen's Royal Park in Niagara-on-the-Lake and Queenston Heights upriver. All safety equipment, dry pack bags, and accessories are included, and no prior kayaking experience is required. The signature route is a 5–6 mile downriver paddle from Queenston Heights to Niagara-on-the-Lake, with shorter one- and two-hour launches available from the lake end for beginners or short outings.
