Was visiting from CA and NEEDED to paddle board in the Oregon lakes. Booking was super easy and convenient for the amount of time I needed it. And this was way more in my budget than other places I googled near Portland. Board itself was sturdy and easy to inflate, that coming from a girl that can barely fill air in her tire. Bryan was very detailed with directions which also helped. Definitely will use this company again when I come back to OR. read more

It was awesome! Close by! Easy to get a hold of and great prices!! They will be our go to for rafting/tubing rentals! They were the ONLY place in town that would just rent me the life jackets!! AWESOME!! read more

Tubes are $25 for a day rental! They are nice, heavy duty red tubes and have handles. Pickup is in his garage/driveway and pickup was so easy! You can take the tubes wherever you want which is nice. They're super easy to blow up and have a mesh bottom to hold your belongings close by/shield your bum from rocks. He gave us a hand pump to use to blow them up when we arrive at our location. Drop off was just as easy, we texted him when we were 5 minutes away and he came outside when we needed to drop off! Would definitely rent from him again if we are ever in the area! read more

We rented six tubes from Bryan on the Fourth of July. I thought we were going to be an hour early picking them up than we scheduled. I called Bryan and he was totally fine with us being early. It ended up taking us an hour longer than we thought to drop our car off at Barton Park. But Bryan was waiting for us when we got there. The process was very easy and fast. He had everything ready for us and offered us life jackets since we didn't have quite enough for our group. The tubes were a lot of fun and held up, even going over some parts that were shallow and rocky. We will rent from Bryan again if we float the river again. Great experience! read more

Very happy with our rentals. I arranged a family trip to Beaverton for my dads 70th and thought River tubing was a good activity for our group ages 16 to 70. I was concerned about picking up and transporting the tubes ourselves - don't be. You either get a hand or an electric tube depending on how many you rent which are easy to fill and deflate. Cell phone service on the Clackamas River is very spotty so recommend having a plan in place before you go - we got in at McIver and got out at Barton. The ORR website said 3 to 4 hours but it took us 5 to 6. My brother and one of the kids drove to Barton and dropped their cars off so they were able to then drive us back to McIver to get our cars at the end - which was a good idea for us. ORR, where you pick up and drop off the tubes, does not have public restrooms but there is a service/rest stop fairly close drive. read more

Always a pleasure renting here. Great price for a super, high quality tube. I've looked into the brand and it's the same materials a professional raft is made up of. You can feel comfortable your tube won't tear or deflate. Easy pick up and drop off with friendly service! read more

Easy to rent and so much more affordable than renting at any lake you are going to. Thank you!

Super easy to rent from Oregon River Rentals - even for a last minute trip. Rentals come with all the equipment you need, including the pump, oars, and life jackets. It takes one adult about 5 minutes to pump up the kayaks. Pick up and drop was really convenient and fast - Bryan has everything ready for you when you arrive. I have rented from ORR twice now and plan to do a couple of more trips this summer with their kayaks. read more

Rented a raft for 4 days. Great all around service, communication, and quality of gear. Highly recommend! One note - the provided PFDs are fine for chill water but for whitewater recommend bringing something more substantial read more

Rented a rooftop cargo box. All-around excellent experience. Friendly and responsive. I could not have been happier. Worth driving from Vancouver. Unless I buy my own soon, I will definitely give ORR more of my money. Thanks ORR read more

We rented 3 kayaks . Highly recommend this place. Excellent service and the owner was very helpful. Very simple process and was given tips to the best routes to go for our experience level. Even allowed us to return the equipment after it was already dark outside. read more

We had so much fun floating down the Sandy River on tubes we rented from Oregon River Rentals. Excellent customer service. Great price. And I love supporting a small business run out of a person's home instead of a big corporate store. Highly recommend! read more

We rented a cargo box from Oregon River Rentals for a camping trip and the experience could not have been better. Pick up and drop off were a breeze. Bryan put the box on and took it off. 5 stars easy. read more

Amazing experience! We rented two tubes and two life jackets. We had a very unpredictable float and the tubes were such great quality, they handled the conditions perfectly. In addition to that, customer service was wonderful. Pickup and drop-off were seamless and easy, despite my husband and I being late for both. Will definitely keep renting here. read more

Easy pick up and drop off. Equipment was in good condition. We had a good time. Would rent here again.

Great service and excellent 14' Aire boat all in like new condition for our 4 day float down the lower Deschutes River. Way better than anything we have ever rented in Maupin like usual. Thanks! read more

ORR was great! Super easy process and solid gear. We got everything we needed and then some (there were even whistles on the life vests which I didn't know we needed -- they were clutch!). We'll definitely rent again! read more

Rented a 14-ft frame raft for a 4-day river trip. The raft was well equipped with high quality gear and everything we needed. Pickup/drop-off were quick and easy. Highly recommend Oregon River Rentals. read more

We rented 6 inflatable kayaks for a recent 3-day float trip down the Grande Ronde River. They were very reasonably priced and came with everything we needed (paddle, PFD, pump, helmet, etc.) Bryan was super helpful and friendly and easy to work with. We had a wonderful trip and all of the equipment was in great condition and worked perfectly. I would highly recommend Oregon River Rentals and will plan on using them again in the future. read more

I'm torn writing a review because I would prefer no one else discover this place so I can get my rafts and kayaks anytime without them being booked up. But it's so by far the best rental place I've ever used and they're so nice to boot that I have to. The compromise is that I'm not going to tell you why they're so good. 5 stars, no question, but you'll probably just want to go elsewhere and rent from a place that takes longer and involves more hassle with more worn out gear. Don't book my raft. Thank you. read more

The most convenient service and place I've received which I've used again and again every Summer! They are very responsive and flexible, all it takes is a quick text. The paddle boards's equipments are also high quality and always available. Thank you for running such great business in the Happy Valley/Clackamas area! read more

We rented a tandem kayak for a last minute trip to Clackamas River. The owner Bryan was very accommodating and helpful. He had everything ready for us by the time we got to him. The equipment was exactly what we needed. Great service, efficient and very convenient. read more

Fab day floating for hours on the Calackamas with our tube rentals. Very easy to pick up/ drop off/ inflate etc. Definitely need to pack a wet bag to attatch to the tube to store personal belongings and also bring a spare rope if you want to tie the tubes together. Great local business. excellent service and prompt response. read more

Brian and his company are great. Did a Lower Deschutes float. Three people and 3-nights on the river in 14-foot Aire tributary oar frame raft, which had plenty of room for all our gear, food and beer. His rental included a big dry box and big cooler. Good quality equipment. Brian is easy to work with and flexible. I will rent from ORR again. read more

Wonderful and local Place to rent rafts, tubes, paddle boards etc. They are kind and responsive. Great place to support! read more

If you want to have a great day, pick up some boats and get out on the river. Great equipment and service at a great price.

This was the 2nd time we've rented from Bryan. He is always very helpful, flexible and knowledgeable. We'll continue to rent from him whenever we need whitewater gear! read more

Fantastic service, easy to book, and great (+ affordable) kayaks! The inflatable aspect makes it wayyyy easier to travel, and to have a great time with friends while camping. 10/10 would recommend to anyone - I'll definitely be using them in the future. read more

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Me and Shanel S. went on our long-awaited trip to Portland this past weekend, and this was DEFINITELY the highlight! A few months prior to the rental date, I had already put the Tomcat Tandem deposit on my paypal account. Bryan called me a few days later to let me know he released the deposit so that I would not have the hold on my card for so long. Thanks, Bryan! Throughout the months, he was super quick to respond to my 1,000 e-mails with full detailed answers to all of my questions. Once the date came closer, Bryan was great to suggest some routes for us beginners new to white water. We told him we would come by at 8am to pick up the gear and head out to the Clackamas River!! Come Saturday, we were exhausted and didn't think we could make the trek out there quite so early. I called Bryan and he was very accommodating and understanding, stating that he wouldn't be there at the time we were coming by (10am), but our gear and release form would be right by the house waiting for us. The drive was only 15-20 minutes from downtown Portland, and the house was incredibly easy to find! All the gear was there as promised, and all fit in the trunk of our rental car. We drove to Barton Park where we were putting in, and Bryan had suggested a shuttle service to bring our car to the take out point (Carver). We called from the parking lot and spoke with Teresa who set everything up for us. We pumped the boat in about 10 minutes by hand and installed the seats. Everything was really easy. We carried the boat down to the river and began our journey! Barton to Carver was the perfect run for beginners! It took us about two hours, and it was a good mix of fun rapids and easy flowing water. We had such an incredible time! We never felt overwhelmed by the rapids, but never were bored or felt like we could be doing something more exciting. Once the day was over, we headed back to return the equipment to the house. Very easy, and the deposit was returned to my card the same day. In conclusion: Amazing service, great people, great equipment, great experience. I will definitely rent again when I am back in Portland!! read more

I would recommend their rental business to my friends and family, and would personally use them again. I would have given them 5 stars but I was not met upon return, July 4th night, so I was forced to leave the equipment in their parking lot read more

Bryan is great to work with. Rafts are well maintained and come with cooler, drybox and drybags. Very affordable for what is included. We'll be back year after year. read more

5 star service! Lisa H did all the reserving but I saw how helpful Brian was to her. She emailed him back and forth a few times and he was very efficient in answering all questions. He suggested a Class 1-2 river and it was perfect for us. We decided to kayak the Clackamas River from Barton to Carver. We changed our time last minute and Brian still had everything set up for us to pick up at the new time. Everything was packed nicely and the house was really easy to find as well as the stuff to kayak with. It was very easy for two girls to manage. i was able to inflate the kayak myself in under ten minutes. You do need two people though to close the clasp that holds the air in. I found that a tad difficult to do fast enough alone. The kayak itself was really nice and perfect for the both of us. I'm glad we decided on the tandem kayak. It was such a fun experience that I already booked a kayaking trip here where I live in San Diego. I highly recommend you doing this through them and leaving the city. It is breathtaking. read more

My boyfriend and I rented 2 sawtooth kayaks from Brian. We had the most amazing time! Took them to sparks lake, loaded them with gear, and camped in an area only accessible by boat! The kayaks were very easy to inflate and steer. Very comfortable too! They came with everything you would need (life jackets, pumps, patch kit, and invasive species permit). Brian recommended these kayaks based on the type of kayaking we were doing and our plans. He was so accommodating and helpful. I emailed him several times with questions and he promptly responded to each one. Not to mention his prices are super reasonable. Pickup and drop off was a breeze and I received my deposit back right away after drop off. I would definitely recommend anyone to oregon river rentals. read more

Oregon River Rentals - Thank you Oregon River Rentals :) - Rafting/Kayaking Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

Superb service and friendly. Great quality rentals. A gem I hope no one else discovers.

I can't say enough about how amazing ORR and Bryan are!! I just discovered SUP Boarding and ORR have been there to provide me with the slice of summer enjoyment that I need. They are super receptive via phone and great with pick up and drop off. If you plan ahead the process is even more efficient but they have also been great about last minute rental (really just call). As an added bonus they are located in the perfect location if you are traveling to Mt. Hood (Trillium Lake) or if your head towards the Mt. Hood forest (Estacada). They have all you need and I would say its better to just reserve from ORR and head out! Finally, the cost/value is perfect as well. I drive 20-30 mins out of my way to pick up equipment from ORR because they are just that good. Bryan, thank you for being amazing and I cant wait to come back!!! read more

Great experience with this company. Owner is nice and very accomodating. Will definitely use again if I need to rent a raft.

Amazing service. We've rented the Yakima Skyboxes several times. Much cheaper than buying and storing one of our own. He installs at pick up and removes the box when we drop off. Perfect!! read more

Great place run by a friendly guy. My parents had a great time on the tandem I rented for them so they could kayak along with me. Will definitely be renting from here again! read more
