The good: very easy to rent a kayak; I arrived 15 minutes early and they were fine with me starting…read moreearly. I rented for 1 hour. The price, $23, is very reasonable considering that a one day pass to go on Tempe Town Lake is $10. I am an experienced kayaker so brought my own kayaking clothes, PFD, dry bags, paddle, and cart. Moving the kayak from the store to the water was easy. The bad: the kayak was very slow , tracking was marginal,, and it handled a light chop poorly. My time was almost up and I was heading back to the dock when I realized I was sinking. My PFD kept me safe but my paddle leash, secured to my seat strap, came loose. The strap had unhooked from the gunnel. So there I was floating in the water with my paddle while the kayak floated away. I was able to swim to a nearby dock and a young man pulled me out. Then he used a life ring on a rope to pull in the kayak. My deepest gratitude goes out to him. The guy at Northshore said I might have taken a kid's kayak but their website makes no mention of this option and there were no signs on the rack. Except for asking if I was ok, Northshore has been completely unhelpful.

My girlfriend and I wanted to try out something new, something we have both never done before so we…read moredecided to paddle board Bartlett lake. We googled different places around the valley and because of proximity we were led to Bre, at AZpaddle48. We contacted Bre and she was so nice and communicated very well about the process. She answered all our text messages within minutes! We were a little hesitant on an inflatable board, so she sent us some pictures and even a video to assure they are not what we were thinking. We picked up the boards in the morning and Bre was so friendly and energetic! She even showed us how to blow it all up, deflate and roll up. When we returned she was genuinely so excited that we had a great time! We will DEFINITELY use AZpaddle48 again and I highly recommend them. Thank you for providing us with a great day at the lake, new memories and great experience renting your boards.

My tips when visiting saguaro lake:…read more - Arrive early if you're planning to rent a boat or kayak, especially on weekends. The marina can get crowded and boats are in high demand. - Bring plenty of water! Arizona heat can be brutal, even in the fall and spring. Make sure to stay hydrated, especially if you're hiking or spending time on the water. - If you're visiting for the first time, be sure to take a boat tour to get a unique perspective of the area. - Watch out for wildlife . You might spot herons, eagles, and even bighorn sheep along the trails, so keep an eye out! Plan your visit during the off-season (fall or spring) to avoid the summer heat and the crowds.
