canoe/kayak rental on Lake Powell? (Kanab: rentals, safe, company)

[mdtoaz]

I'm hoping someone can help me. We're coming up to Kanab this weekend to get out of Tucson for a bit. We'll be doing the obligatory Grand Canyon trip (my husband's never been there), but what I'm really wanting to do is visit Lake Powell.

I'd like to have a way to go on the lake, and not just drive up click a picture and leave. I'm trying to find somewhere that rents canoes or kayaks around there, but I'm finding mostly tours.

Is it better to go on a tour than just exploring by yourself? I've found some motorized boats and jet skis, but I don't feel like shelling out $200 for a day when I'm perfectly happy to paddle around.

Any help or advice would be very appreciated.

check out twin finn kayak rentals in page arizona. they rent sit on top kayaks which are great in the hot weather. we did some kayaking down a slot canyon. it was wonderful!

I would really recommend against renting from twinn fynn.
The kayaks are small, the safety equipment is flawed.
The service is terrible.
If you need the rest of the terrible experience I had with this company email me.
But really look else where and safe your self a head ache.

I was at Lake Powell last week, with a wakeboard boat, and would just recommend considering a jet ski. It gets pretty choppy, especially where there are lots of boats (which is wherever a Marina is). Elsewhere on the lake, however, it was very smooth and peaceful, but it just wasn't anywhere close to where canoe/kayak rentals might be. Jet skis really are loads of fun, especially in choppy water, so I'd definitely consider it.
