Kayak rentals

Explore the Arkansas river with one of our rentals

Our premiere location, Rock City Yacht Club, is downtown Little Rock's newest marina, and it's only a 5-minute bike ride from the River Market along the Arkansas River Trail! Here you will be able to hop on one of our single/tandem kayak rentals and explore the Arkansas River, catching a waterside view of the Clinton Presidential Library, La Petite Roche and the U.S.S. Razorback submarine!
