About AK Paddlesports
AK Paddlesports is the Anchorage area's dedicated paddling outfitter, based at 21437 Blair Avenue in Chugiak — a short drive north of downtown. With over 100 watercraft in their fleet, they carry one of the largest selections of kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards available for rent in Southcentral Alaska, covering everything from calm-lake touring to multi-day expedition paddling.
The rental lineup includes single and tandem kayaks, touring kayaks, recreational kayaks, inflatable kayaks, canoes, and SUPs. Every rental comes with a paddle, lifejacket, and basic instruction. They offer hourly, daily, and multi-day rental periods, and can help you plan trips to nearby lakes including Eklutna, Mirror Lake, Finger Lake, and Reflections Lake — all within easy driving distance.
AK Paddlesports fills a niche that most Anchorage shops miss: serious paddlecraft variety. Whether you're a first-timer wanting a stable recreational kayak for an afternoon or an experienced paddler looking for a sea kayak for a Prince William Sound expedition, they've got the right boat. The team are paddlers themselves and can match you with the right craft for your skill level and destination.
