Invasive species and organisms can hitch a ride on a dirty boat. We offer a kayak cleaning service at our location in Chiloquin to help you keep your kayaks clean. We clean all of our paddle crafts thoroughly after each use and have done thousands of cleanings. We suggest you clean your kayaks before entering any new waterway. We only charge $10.00 per kayak.
