Who we are
At Gold Country Rec Rentals, we believe adventure should be simple, spontaneous, and accessible.
We’re a small, local business born out of our deep love for the Sierra Foothills… a place we’ve explored in every season, from sunny paddles on alpine lakes to snowy hikes through quiet pine forests. What started as weekend outings quickly became a way of life, and we wanted to share that joy with others.
We created Gold Country Rec to make it easy for anyone to experience the outdoors without the hassle of buying, storing, or hauling gear. Our rentals are high-quality, well-cared-for, and ready when you are. Whether you’re planning a last-minute river day, a snow-play session with the kids, or a peaceful hike with your pup, we’re here to help you gear up and get outside.
We're proud to serve our community and visitors alike, and we’re especially passionate about helping people (and their dogs!) connect with nature in fun, safe, and memorable ways. At GCR it’s not just about gear - it’s about making more room in life for the kinds of days you’ll remember.

We’re a small, locally run business, so while we may be out on the water or in the woods when you reach out, we’ll get back to you as soon as we can, usually within 24 hours.
Let’s get you outside!
