Rent a Boat at Tempe Town Lake: Kayaks, SUPs, Pontoons & More for Desert Adventure
Escape the ordinary and embrace the outdoors at Tempe Town Lake, Tempe's stunning urban oasis in the desert. With mild weather ideal for boating, now is the perfect time for an unforgettable excursion on these serene waters.
Renting a boat is straightforward through Tempe Boat Rentals. Visit their kiosk on the south side of the lake at Tempe Beach Park for a variety of watercraft suited to solo adventurers or groups. Options include kayaks, stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), pontoon boats, pedal boats, and electric boats.
Stand-up paddleboards (SUPs) are a personal favorite for their balance of fun and fitness. Even beginners enjoy them after a short adjustment period—expect some initial wobbling, but relaxation unlocks smooth gliding. In under an hour, you'll cover impressive distances while toning your core. The refreshing lake water cools your feet, unless a splash keeps you even cooler! SUP rentals start at $20 per hour.
For groups, the pontoon boat is ideal, seating up to 10. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or casual gatherings, it offers a unique way to celebrate. Rental rates begin at $80 per hour.
