Why Rent the Kayak from Silverthorn
Silverthorn's kayaks are the perfect way to slow down and explore Shasta Lake at paddle pace. From the marina you'll glide into the Pit River Arm's granite-lined coves and protected inlets.
Rentals are standard 1–2 person recreational kayaks — beginner-friendly, stable, and ready to launch. Mornings on the Pit River Arm offer glass-like water perfect for first-time paddlers.
Pair a kayak with a houseboat stay for cove exploration, or just spend a quiet morning watching the sun come up over the mountains.
