We do not haul private canoes or other outfitter canoes. We no longer offer or provide long distance hauls.

All Red Rock rental canoes are Souris Rivers kevlars
and all are placed into our rentals brand new EVERY spring. We do not use worn-out, seen-better-days, beat-to-a-pulp, multi-layered-skid-plate wonders in our rental fleet. We prefer renting good quality gear in nice shape when we go on vacation and you should, too.

We also provide quality wood paddles,
life vests and yoke pads with each canoe we rent. Some of our customers prefer to use their own favorite life vests and/or paddles. There are no price reduction allowances for using your own accessory canoeing gear.

Note: Red Rock's Canoe Rental season ends on August 31 of each year. All rental canoes must be returned to Red Rock no later than August 31. We will .

Due to intense consumer demand for used Souris River Canoes, we're making it easier for people wanting to buy used Souris River kevlar canoes from us. Starting September 1, 2008, our entire 2008 rental fleet will be available for sale. We will not be offering canoe rentals or other outfitting services beyond August 31, 2008 and will resume our regular canoe rentals in May 2009. Then, starting August 31, 2009, we'll sell off our rental canoes all over again just like in 2008. Then, starting in May 2010, we'll start up canoe rentals again and sell the canoes off starting August 31, 2010, then in May 2011, we'll start canoe rentals again and etc. At the risk of becoming redundantly redundant, I can't make this any clearer. We're not going out of business, just selling our used canoes only to put new ones into rentals again in the following season.

The Quetico 17 is the most versatile and popular canoe on the planet right now, and it is, by far, our #1 rental canoe for all boundary waters canoe area trips. Its overall stability (all Quetico models) and ability to keep you dry when the going gets rough makes this canoe the best choice for the majority of BWCA and recreational paddlers.

*NOTE: All working payloads are estimated and intended to be general guides for illustrating how the canoe drafts (settles into) on the water. For your safety & paddling enjoyment, it is not recommended that these weights be exceeded.

** For reference: Average adult =110-195 lbs. Large adult = 196-240 lbs.

**Red Rock's Rental Refund Policy**
Most other outfitters say that they will refund one day less than the total number of days of early return. Except for unusual circumstances, most people, if they return early at all, return one day early. HMMMM - sounds like a little bit of doublespeak that boils down to "no refunds" for early returns for the vast majority of early return customers. We're more direct at Red Rock Outfitting. Red Rock's Refund Policy: As our outfitting guest, you are correct to expect top-notch service and gear from us. In return, we expect a rental-time commitment from you. Until we can control the weather, camper goof-ups, scheduling problems, boredom or bad luck, NO refunds will be granted for any early trip returns. Thanks for your understanding.
