For a weekend trip or multi-day adventure, Chicagoland Canoe Base can outfit you or your entire group with canoe and kayak rentals. We provide great equipment at reasonable prices.

How the rental program works: Renters pick up their boats at the Canoe Base, transport the boats to the destination of their choice and return them to the Chicagoland Canoe Base when finished. We load the craft on your vehicle and furnish you with paddles and preservers. We have information about hundreds of unusual destinations in the Chicagoland area.

Our rentals are charged by the day. For your convenience, if you pick up your rental boat between 3:00pm and 4:30pm on Day 1, use the boat on Day 2 and then return the boat before noon on Day 3, you'll pay only for Day 2. Please note that you must return the boat during our regular business hours and that we are closed on Sunday. Should you wish to paddle Sundays, pick up on Saturday and return on Monday.
