During summer months residents can rent season-long canoe, kayak and stand-up paddleboard (SUP) storage rack space at a number of Whistler parks.

NEW for 2021: Watercraft rack storage were available to rent earlier for the 2021 season and the "go live" dates for storage reservations were staggered this April as a result of feedback received. On Tuesday, April 13 at noon SUP storage rack spaces came available via the online reservation system.

Storage spaces typically sell out quickly once the online reservation system is open and reservation tips are linked below.
