Please note: Reservation time is at the shoreline not the parking lot so please keep that in mind when planning your arrival time. Plan for 15 minutes to park, and walk down from any parking lot to the shoreline as the lake is 175’ below full capacity and all parking lots are above full capacity water line. Customers, please pack out your trash.
Paddle Express volunteers and picks up hundreds of pounds of trash around the lake every season during season, and designates days on end during the off-season to pick up more, so please don’t pick up trash along the way and leave it in the kayak.

Paddle Express is the #1 broad band water based adventure rental company Northern Arizona and Southern Utah has to offer because of a hand picked premium inventory!
Who is Paddle Express? Paddle Express is owned and opperated by retired professional pitcher Sean Tracey. During Sean’s pro career he spent off-seasons exploring the Grand Circle, and also grew up coming to Lake Powell since he was born in 1980. Sharing insights to cyst based on this experience is super fulfilling for Sean and it fills his cup!
After a medical retirement forced Sean to hang up his cleats, he moved from Southern California to Lake Powell to start a new venture. As part of 3 professional championships, Sean has a proven winner approach. Sean spent a few years gaining experience, and knowledge of what customers want vs what’s available in town while he was still exiting his deep roots from Baseball, and gaining more back country experiences. Sean has over 700 nights camping around the Grand Circle with half being at Lake Powell and brings that knowledge to the shore side.
Paddle Express was started as a paddlesport full service delivery only company in the Lake Powell region as the lake was dropping, and it was obviously going to make it more challenging to self haul along with massive challenges for companies to facilitate the overall work delivery was going to take. It was clear, and apparent shore side accommodations were needed and the demand for paddle adventure was increasing.
Seans family has been coming to the Lake since the 60s out of Southern California paddling surfboards, canoes, kayaks, all before SUPs were available. Sean has spent hours, days, and weeks, on the lake, and other lakes on the Colorado River chain. Sean has traveled hundreds of miles exploring the vast area of Lake Powell, Lake Mead, Lake Mojave and Lake Havasu, both on water, and land!
Grace is huge with Sean and he understands how much effort it takes to adventure at Lake Powell, and he wants to reduce your effort, and increase your enjoyment. Sean’s goal is to help you feel like a member of the team, a member of his family, or a member of his fan group. Sean has been around the block as a business owner, a professional baseball player and a mentor and does his best to stay humble and provide the best experience for his customers.
Sean knows when he is getting taken advantage of as an individual operator without employees so if you have that tendency to be an entitled consumer go book with one of the other outfits in town that accommodates a consumer who wants it all for a bargain, and stretches customer responsibilities. If you can respect the American underdog you will be very happy with your experience with Sean, and Paddle Express. If you can’t get a hold of him during non working hours he is spending his time with his daughter. Get the best insight about the history of Lake Powell since 1964 with Paddle Express.
Paddle Express targets .007 of the market and carries novelty inventory like a .007 agent would. Ask about novelty human powered and small motorized vessels available for self haul.
Paddle Express is the leader in electric assisted paddle craft so everyone can participate but inventory is limited!
Paddle Express tries their best when it comes to personal accommodations for those bookings with special needs as the owner has a lower back fusion, and knows what life is like being permanently partially disabled.
Paddle with the Pros at Paddle Express. All reservations are delivered to the shoreline, and picked up unless arrangements are made otherwise. Electric assistance equipment is available for pickup outside of the National Park and by advanced reservation only.
Currently the National Park is going through all necessary steps to make all facilities available, and accommodating for all, including retrofits to all facilities for persons with a disability or limited ability.
Some launch locations can be challenging to access from the last section of cement to the shoreline. Easy and short hiking trails have been created in popular locations like Antelope Point launch ramp for Antelope Canyon adventures.
Paddle Express is the only outfit that rents sit inside kayaks, canoes, or electric assist paddle craft on Lake Powell. Paddle Express offers beginners the option for outriggers (stability boosters) on kayaks, and canoes. Check out our 1 of a kind novelty selection available for you next big adventure at Lake Powell, or on the Colorado River. No day of walk in carry outs, advanced reservation required for self haul.

Bookings with pets and or children are required to send advance notice for final approval, failure to do so may constitute cancellation on the spot if it compromises the days schedule or might be too dangerous to paddle. Due to the extra time it takes to accommodate families and pet parents, and or the weather bookings may or may not be available for parents.. Shoulder season SUPs are not sent out in any winds, and shoulder season winds may cancel any kayak reservation as well. Cellphone service is remote while Paddle Express is at the launch ramp during business hours handling customers so text messages are best.

Day or day before of bookings (48 hour windows) please call or text Sean directly (928) 614-1728 to make sure he can fit you in the schedule. Text is the best way to check in as the remote service area prevents Sean from getting emails right away when he is at the launch ramp with customers. Sean looks forward to launching you next so check in 60 minutes prior to your arrival to make sure you show up in the correct park lot and walk down the correct Launch Ramp. Early morning reservations please check in the night before for weather purposes, extreme conditions (too cold) may cause delays. In the remote service area even Verizon the strongest provider struggles with data updates on the MMS system. SMS is faster! The prices are reasonable because Paddle Express doesn’t have a front office and therefore overhead is low. Sean is a one man band most of the time making it happen for YOU! Time is a precious commodity around the lake, and Paddle Express is busy with customers day of so please do your research, be a student, come prepared, and be punctual. Make sure you check in, please. Early morning reservations please check in the night before as well for weather conditions. Paddle Express is not a google service or a SIRI😉. Paddle Express can run across unforeseen conditions with other customers and allows up to 10 minutes past reservation time without being considered late for a delivery. Expect delays in the budget 5 hour (Peak season) DIY bookings on weekends as these are high volume low service price points for the bargain adventurers out there. Thank you very much have a great day.

Colorado River history
Colorado River Compact
Colorado River Compact (water resources agreement) was signed by President Hoover in 1922 and roughly 15 million acre foot of water was allocated annually down stream. The number of 15 MAF was projected based off of numbers from the decade before, the 1910s. Historically over the century the 1910s ended up being a well above average decade for precipitation and overall watershed numbers within the upper basin region. The last two decades index in drought categories with average yields of roughly just under 12 million acre foot. 20 years of 3 million acre feet shy produces lakeshore loss and an average of 5-10 foot drops annually causing Lake Powell to be nearly 150’ below full capacity and barely 30% full.
Colorado River impact
Colorado River region is separated by the upper and lower basins. The biggest industry the Colorado River impacts is the agricultural industry. 1/5 of the 15 MAF goes to the Imperial Valley. The Imperial Valley is the lettuce capital of the world and the annual gross is currently 1.4 billion in revenue and approximately 12 % of the U.S. GDP.
Colorado River basins
Lake Powell is in the lower part of upper Colorado River basin. Next is Lake Mead, then Lake Mojave and finally Lake Havasu.
