Inflatable Kayaks and Stand Up Paddle Boards, Minutes From the Dam
Looking for a Flaming Gorge kayak rental that gets you on the water fast? Dutch John Resort rents inflatable single and double kayaks plus stand up paddle boards, right in Dutch John and about 10 minutes from the launch below Flaming Gorge Dam. Pick up your gear at the resort, get a quick safety briefing from our staff, and spend the day paddling clear, cold water through Red Canyon.
Inflatable kayaks are stable, easy to steer, and forgiving for first timers. Paddle boards are a fun way to cruise the calmer stretches and quiet coves. Bringing a bigger group? Our Green River raft rentals seat 4 to 15 people in one boat.
Every rental is a full day on the water with a life jacket and paddle included. Choose a single or double inflatable kayak, or a soft or hard stand up paddle board.

| Inflatable Single Kayak | 1 | 11 hours, 8 AM to 7 PM | $59 |
| Inflatable Double Kayak | 2 | 11 hours, 8 AM to 7 PM | $69 |

Everything you need for a safe day on the Green River, plus a few extras that make the trip easier.
A properly fitted life jacket for every paddler, included at no extra cost.
A kayak paddle for every seat, or an adjustable paddle for your board.
Our staff cover river conditions, paddling basics, and what to do if you tip over.
Paddle solo in a single, or share a tandem inflatable kayak with a friend or your child.
Soft boards are stable and forgiving for beginners. Hard boards glide faster for experienced paddlers.
Skip the car shuffle. Our river shuttle drops you at the put in and picks you up at the take out.
Grab your gear as early as 8 AM and beat the afternoon wind on the water.
Ask our team about flows, weather, and which stretch fits your skill level.
Snacks, ice, and fuel at the convenience store, plus dinner at the Green River Bar and Grill after you paddle.
A Section, Dam to Little Hole (7 miles): Launch below Flaming Gorge Dam and paddle through Red Canyon. Expect clear water, rolling waves, and a few Class II rapids. Inflatable kayaks handle this stretch well for confident paddlers, and paddle boarders should be comfortable falling in and climbing back on.
B Section, Little Hole to Browns Park: Calmer water, light riffles, and plenty of pull offs for lunch or fishing. This is the best pick for paddle boards, families, and first time kayakers. Add a river shuttle so you start and end without the extra drive.
Inflatable kayaks and paddle boards from the Dutch John Resort rental fleet, and the Green River waters you will paddle below the dam.
Inflatable single kayaks and stand up paddle boards rent for $59 a day, and inflatable double kayaks rent for $69 a day, plus tax. Rates can change by season, so check the booking calendar for your date.

No. Our staff give every renter a safety briefing before you launch, and first timers usually enjoy the calmer B Section most. Prefer to ride with a guide? Book a guided Green River rafting trip.
Every rental includes a life jacket and a paddle for each paddler. River shuttles to the put in and take out are available for an added fee.
Pick up starts at 8 AM and rentals are due back by 7 PM. A credit card deposit is required on all rentals, and late returns carry a $50 fee.
Yes. Every paddler wears a life jacket, and children under 13 need to be with an adult. A double kayak lets a parent and child paddle together.
Pick your kayak or board, choose your date, and add a shuttle if you need one. Staying the night? Our Green River cabins are a short drive from the launch, so you can be on the water early. Book online any time, or call the front desk and we will help you plan the day.
