The village of Delhi has an easily accessible self-serve kayak rental at Hoyt Park. Renting the kayak is easy! Download the app, unlock the equipment, enjoy your paddle, and return! Oftentimes, experienced kayakers paddle in rivers while newcomers and first-timers venture to still bodies of water such as large ponds or small lakes.
It is important to be prepared before you embark on your kayaking adventure! Though the kayaks are available right along the West Branch Delaware River, if you have never used a kayak, consider bringing the kayak to a pond or lake. Below are important considerations to make before beginning a kayak adventure:
-Plan a trip for your experience level
If this is your first time kayaking, consider beginning at a pond or lake. If you are an experienced kayaker, the river may be an appropriate option for you.
-Research local hazards and weather
When the area receives heavy rainfall in a short period of time, the water level will rise making for a more rapid experience on the river. If there has been recent flooding or storms, trees may be down in the river creating a hazard to avoid. Make sure you are aware of the possibilities before beginning your adventure.
-Know your float plan
If kayaking down the river, make sure you know where you will exit the water and have a vehicle there to retrieve the kayak. Kayaks will need to be brought back to the rental location at Hoyt Park.
-Wear a lifejacket
A Personal Floatation Device is mandatory in NYS. Make sure you wear the lifejacket provided.
-Dress for immersion
Even if it isn’t your plan, you may end up getting wet or even fully immersed. Make sure you are dressed in clothing you can swim in.
