The postcard mountain paddle near Seattle. And there are no rentals on shore.

Rattlesnake Lake sits right under the cliffs of Rattlesnake Ledge in North Bend.

Clear, cold water. No gas motors allowed.

That is why the surface is so often mirror-flat. It is stunning and beginner friendly.

There is no rental booth at the lake. You have to bring your own.

That is the whole idea here. Our gear fits in any trunk and inflates in 8 minutes at the gravel launch.

See full pricing below, then point the car at the mountains.

Rattlesnake Lake Paddle Board Rental FAQ

Are there paddle board rentals at Rattlesnake Lake?
No. There is no rental booth at Rattlesnake Lake, which is exactly why bringing your own is the way to paddle it. We hand you a complete, ready-to-go inflatable kit in Tukwila. It fits in any trunk and inflates in about 8 minutes at the gravel launch.
Are motors allowed on Rattlesnake Lake?
No gas motors are permitted, which is why the water is so often mirror-flat and quiet. That makes it one of the calmest, most beginner-friendly mountain lakes to paddle near Seattle.
How cold is the water?
Cold. It is fed by snowmelt and stays chilly even in summer, and the lake level drops by late season. Dress in layers, keep your phone in the included dry bag, and wear the USCG life vest we provide.
How far is Rattlesnake Lake from Seattle?
It is about a 38 to 40 minute drive from our Tukwila pickup. Straight east on I-90 to Exit 32 in North Bend, then a couple minutes to the free lakeside parking. Our inflatable gear rides in any car, no roof rack needed.
What is included with the rental?
Your 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, free with every rental.
