Powell River Kayak & Canoe Regatta
April 26, 2025
Boat Rentals & Camping
If you need to rent a kayak to participate in the Regatta, contact Carson Williams of Riverside Rentals in Tazewell early in April to make arrangements. He will have the boat, paddle and life jacket available at the Start Line for you and, since his property (Riverside Rentals) is where the Race finishes, you simply leave the boat there when you finish your paddle.

Camping and Meal Options
If you would like to camp at the Start Line, Well Being Retreat Center offers these six AT Style shelters as well as plenty of relatively flat mowed pasture along the river for your tent or camper van at $25 per person per night. There are nice men's and women's bathrooms with showers nearby, picnic tables, outdoor grills, and potable water. Well Being Retreat Center will serve supper the night before the Regatta in the Main Conference Building ($15 per person) and a full service hot breakfast the morning of the Regatta at the Powell River Pavilion - a short walk from the Start line ($10 per person).
After February 1, 2025, information for reservations will be available HERE.
