Kayak Rentals

Canoeing in South CarolinaIf you love kayaking, then you will love the Palmetto Outdoor Center in Columbia, SC.  We rent kayaks for the day and include all the necessary equipment you will need to get down the river.  We will also provide assistance to the launch point if floating down the designated access areas.  If you would like to travel out of state with your rental we will also be happy to rent a rack system to safely get you to your destination.
