Bde Maka Ska Paddleboat and Kayak Rental

In the heart of Minneapolis, Bde Maka Ska offers a broad expanse of water ringed by city parks, sailboats and skyline glimpses. A rented kayak or pedal boat turns an urban lake visit into an easy on-the-water adventure.

The outing is wonderfully flexible: glide close to shore, watch the changing reflections and take in the city from a quieter vantage point. The lake feels surprisingly open for a destination surrounded by neighborhoods.

ONCE YOU’RE THERE

Check in with the current lake rental concession, wear the provided life jacket and follow the operator’s permitted boating area. Return the craft to the same dock.
