Kayak rentals now available in Cass County
May 10—Eight kayaks are now available to rent from now until Oct. 31 near the boat ramp at Michigan Ave. in Logansport.
Cass County purchased the kayaks last year. They can be rented for a float trip to France Park, using the Rent.Fun phone application. Life vests will be provided.
The trip from Michigan Avenue to France Park along the Eel and Wabash rivers is estimated to take about 4 hours. The initial fee for renting a kayak will be $40 for four hours, and renters will be billed an additional $7 for every half hour after. France Park will receive 75% of the revenue from each rental.
An annual membership option will also be available.
Kayaks and life vests should be returned to the kayak storage cages at France Park after completing the trip. The kayaks will be returned to Michigan Avenue daily.
Kayakers can check the Rent.Fun app to see the number of kayaks currently available.
Emergency services personnel ask that kayakers stay to the north side of the river. Kayakers should have transportation available to return to their vehicles after the trip.
