2) Book your kayak or paddle board through this link, from Eclectic Sun in Devil’s Fork State Park https://eclecticsun.com/rentals-reservations/ or bring your own equipment.
There’s only about 12 kayaks available on any given day, so space is limited.

PLEASE RESERVE YOUR KAYAK OR PADDLE BOARD THROUGH ECLECTIC SUN as soon as you register to make sure you can get a spot.

There are other kayak rental businesses near the lake but please be aware that Eclectic Sun is the only boat rental business within the grounds of the State Park, and the other businesses bring the kayaks to different boat ramps, so you’d have to kayak all the way in to meet us.
Rental prices:
Single Sit on Top or Sit In Kayak - $35 for 4 hours (4 hours is recommended, but we totally understand if you need to leave early).
Tandem/Double Sit On Top Kayak for two people (if you want to bring a buddy)- $40 for 4 hours

3) You will be required to pay for park entry $8 per person (unless you have the State Park Pass). Please park in the Day Use parking lot, near Eclectic Sun.
Eclectic Sun has snacks and beverages available for purchase as well if needed.

This will be a ladies day out on the water, we love our kids and menfolk (partners/friends), but we’re taking this time to have this float to ourselves. (Gals and gender expansive partners and friends welcome of course! Thank you!!!

No experience needed, the sit on top kayaks are pretty easy to navigate.

We HIGHLY recommend a dry bag to put your belongings in, you can bring it with you on the board/kayak. Here’s a great option if you want to get a cheap but great dry bag..
