Warm water. Calm water. The easiest place to learn.

Lake Sammamish sits between Issaquah and Redmond.

It is shallow and sheltered, so the wind stays down and the water stays warm.

By late summer it is one of the warmest lakes in the region.

Perfect for a beginner on a paddle board or a family in a double kayak.

No booth rents boards here. So we hand you everything, and it fits in any trunk.

Lake Sammamish Paddle Board Rental FAQ

Is Lake Sammamish good for beginners?
Very. It is shallow, forested, and sheltered from wind, so the water stays calm. It is also one of the warmest lakes around Seattle by late summer. That makes it one of the best places in the area to try paddle boarding for the first time.
Do I need a Discover Pass?
Yes. To park at Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah you need a Washington State Discover Pass, sold online and at the park. Idylwood Park in Redmond is a city park and does not require one. Always check current signage for parking and swim-area rules.
Where is the best place to launch?
Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah, at Sunset and Tibbetts beaches, is the main public access with the easiest launches. Idylwood Park in Redmond is a good quieter option on the north end. Both are roughly 23 to 30 minutes from our Tukwila pickup.
Is the water warm enough to fall in?
By July and August, Lake Sammamish is among the warmest swimmable water in the area. Much of it is shallow, so it heats up nicely. It is a forgiving lake to learn on, and we still include USCG life vests with every rental.
What comes with the rental?
Everything you need. Board or kayak, paddle, USCG life vests, an electric pump, a dry bag, a waterproof phone case, and a Bluetooth speaker. That is about $175 of gear, included free. It all packs into any car.
