Paddle On

Explore North Dakota

We are OPEN for the 2024 rental season,
including our station at Harmon Lake!

Paddle On is a Bismarck - Mandan kayak rental outfit renting a variety of light watercraft.  Experience the beauty of North Dakota's waterways in a way that leaves a very light environmental footprint -- kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and canoeing.

Day-long floats, overnight trips, or even just an hour or two on the local Bismarck/Mandan waters. Try our SUP rentals, kayak rentals (singles and tandems), and canoe rentals

Harmon Lake

Paddle On has a permanent (seasonal) rental site at Harmon Lake! Harmon Lake is a beautiful recreation area eight miles north of Mandan on Highway 1806. It has much to offer and we are excited to be a part of it. Awesome camping available, plenty of wildlife and fishing, a great biking trail, and perfect paddling opportunities. Beginning in June, weekly water-fitness and SUP yoga classes are offered.
