Kayak Shack at Longwood Park

The first of its kind in Gainesville, this kayak kiosk offers rental vessels to recreation enthusiasts eager to make a splash at Lake Lanier. The Gnarly Marsh Kayak Shack is self-service, and the rental process functions much like that for electric scooters in Atlanta. Kayakers will download the LinkaGo app to their smartphone and create an account, proceeding to payment before receiving the code that will unlock the stall door. Inside, they will find their kayak, dry bags, life jackets of varying sizes and hooks for towels and keys.
