RENT IT. RIDE IT. RACK IT.

WakeRack Locker Location

How it works

Pick-up and drop off your rental at the Falls Lake WakeRack lockers outside the Marathon Gas Station. The access code to retrieve your paddle board or kayak is provided in an email one hour before your reservation.

Each rental includes everything you need in a duffel bag, even the life jacket!

The Beaverdam access offers a network of mountain biking trails as well as a separate and quiet lake impoundment perfect for paddling, fishing and swimming.
