We’ve seen several off-site canoe rental outfitters come and go. Our customers asked us time and time again for another option in canoe rentals, so finally in 2009 we bowed to their requests and started a rental service of our own. This is a small operation – limited to 22 canoes (Hellman) and 3 kayaks (Riot).
We offer premium Hellman canoes from the shore of Murtle Lagoon. Just grab one of our gear carts from the parking lot, load your gear, strap on your backpacks and go! No more roof racks or canoe carts!
Hellman Canoes are hand built in Nelson BC, using an ultralight epoxy system called Duralite. They are light, fast and track very well – this is a premium canoe that ranks with the top brands in the world according to canoeing magazines.
Some previous experience in a canoe is required. If you haven’t paddled before, Murtle is not the lake to start on. Persons wishing to rent kayaks must provide proof of experience.

- All bookings must be made in advance by email. Why? Because Murtle Lake is very remote. There is no phone or Internet service. We have to relay your confirmed bookings in to our staff on the lake.
- You will need to meet our staff at the lagoon to pick up your canoes at the daily prearranged meeting time – 11:00 am. Why? Because we cannot store the canoes at the lagoon or the parking lot, so we bring them out to you from our cabin on the lake for the date and time of your reservation.
- You will need to return your canoe at the prearranged return time – 11:00 am. Why? Same reason as 2, we cannot store the canoes there.
- Why only one daily meeting time? The folks who deliver your canoe are the same people who look after the campsites and trails on the lake. They need to be out patrolling and maintaining Murtle Lake to keep it clean and safe.
- What happens if you are late picking up or returning your canoe? If you are late to pick up your canoe rental we will wait for 30 minutes, then leave. You will still be charged for the full day. And it’s possible if you are late to return your canoe rental, the next renter will be tapping their toes at the launch wondering where you are with their canoe. Please be considerate of others and return your canoe on time.
If you foresee keeping this meeting schedule being an issue, you may want to consider booking with the Blue River Campground.
