Why We Started Gold Country Rec

We fell in love with adventuring in the Sierra Foothills year-round — paddling quiet lakes in the summer, hiking golden trails in the fall, snowshoeing through fresh powder in the winter, and soaking in wildflower blooms each spring. These trails, rivers, and ridgelines became more than just scenic backdrops; they became a part of our lifestyle, and always better with our pups by our side.

We started Gold Country Rec Rentals because we wanted to make it easier for others to access this kind of freedom and joy. Not everyone has the gear (or the garage space), and not everyone knows where to start. So we decided to change that.

Our mission is simple: to help people say yes to spontaneous outdoor adventures, without the stress of buying or storing gear. Whether you're hosting out-of-town guests, planning a solo reset, or just need a last-minute way to get outside with your dog, we’ve got you covered with high-quality rentals and thoughtful add-ons.

We’re proud to be part of this community and want to give back by helping others connect with nature, spend more time with loved ones (two-legged or four!), and explore all the beauty this region has to offer … one paddle, trek, or snow-tube ride at a time.
