You Take It Wherever You Want To Use It

Front Royal Gear Rentals

Front Royal Outdoors offers You-Take-It rentals for guests who prefer to paddle on a river, lake, or stream outside our shuttle area.

You simply bring your own racks and straps, load your chosen watercraft, and transport it yourself. When you’re done, just return it the same way.

If you prefer full-service trips that include shuttle transportation, please book from our standard trip menu.

Already have your own boat but need an extra one for friends? Rent a You-Take-It, secure it to your vehicle, and you’re all set.

We rent only top-quality equipment from Old Town, Wenonah, and Jackson Kayak. Each rental includes clean, well-maintained paddles and life vests.

As a bonus, you can pick up your rental during the last half-hour of operation the day before your paddle date at no extra charge.

Important:

  • Each participant must have a signed waiver; we recommend using our convenient e-waiver.
  • Two vehicles are needed: one at the put-in and another at your take-out location.
