Barrier Lake Boat Rentals operated by Kananaskis Outfitters

Great prices. Helpful staff. Convenient location. You have to carry to boat to the launch though.

Great place to paddleboard! The lake was very calm that day and the prices were good. The rental place was just a bit far away from the lake but otherwise it was a great experience

Reasonable prices, wide variety of rentals and friendly staff!

Was an awesome tour. Joel was a great guide. Good information was shared and we felt very safe on the water. I would definitely recommend these guys.

My friend and I went with her two children to enjoy some canoeing on Barrier Lake at the end of an afternoon outdoors. While we thoroughly enjoyed the canoeing itself, the process to get the canoe—and us—in the water seemed somewhat disorganized compared to when we had last been canoeing 6 years prior. The employee asked me to help him lift the canoe down off the truck (even though I later saw him put the boat back up independently), and then we had to haul it down to the water. That being said, the truck was about 25 feet from the inclined boat launch, let alone the shore, which was another 30-40 feet away (lake was very low). Fortunately, another canoe was returning, so we were able to take that one instead and save our muscles a bit. Still, we had to hike the canoe back up to the truck at the end. I'm not sure it should be the customer's responsibility to carry the canoe such a distance. I feel like this is a popular tourist activity, and everybody comes with different physical strength. That being said, the canoe and all associated equipment was in good shape. The lake itself was also lovely; the kids enjoyed climbing the sandy cliffs on one of the shores, and my friend and I enjoyed watching the cliff swallows dive in and out of their holes. The price was also reasonable for an hour of canoe time.
