Watersports Rentals
Canoe & Kayak Rentals
Discover the natural beauty found along the Swatara Creek. You decide
whether you'd like an all-day trip or a 2-3 hour excursion! Our canoes
each have 3 seats and have an 800 lb. capacity while our kayaks are the
one person sit-in variety.
Inner Tube Rentals
Splash & frolic in the Swatara or have a long, leisurely float
by using our shuttle service to the Appalachian Trail. Our tubes
feature a durable nylon cover with a 5-inch hole in the bottom so even
younger kids can safely enjoy floating.
All canoe & kayak rentals must take-out at our campground.
Livery Service available for all Watersports Rentals
The Swatara is a pleasant novice run of moving water that courses a
lazy path through mountain gaps and scenic farm country. You can put down
the paddle, fish & float away the miles as you relax the day away.
The Swatara is a good stream to run, even until late in the season.
While floating the "Swattie", you'll have the opportunity to pass through
Swatara State Park, a park that is currently undeveloped but open to the
public for hiking, biking, fishing & hunting. The Park hosts Union
Canal locks, fossil beds, a rail trail & the Appalachian Trail Bridge.

Canoeing, Kayaking and Tubing are physical sports which have
inherent risks. We therefore assume no responsibility for personal injury
or loss of personal propery. All participants are require to sign a release
acknowledging these risks. We reserve the right to cancel trips should
the water flows be too high or too low for commercial use. We reserve the
right to turn away anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Unfortunately, during times of low rainfall, we discontinue our regular
paddlesports services & rentals. Low waterlevels are beyond our control
and portaging our equipment is no fun for you or your family. If this is
a primary activity for you while staying at our campground, please call
1-877-865-6411 to confirm your rental and our services.
