Baltimore Blueway public kayak launches and Rent.Fun rentals

Departs Fells Point

Baltimore cut the ribbon on its first public kayak launch at Rash Field on August 28, 2026, alongside a second at Bond Street Wharf in Fells Point. Both have self-service Rent.Fun kiosks: you download the app, scan the QR code on the rack and the kayak unlocks, with paddle and life jacket included. Launches are open sunrise to sunset every day and there is no booking and no staff to deal with. Rash Field has paid parking; Bond Street Wharf is street parking only.

Verified

Verified Sep 18, 2026 against Baltimore Blueway launch and rental pages for addresses, kiosk hours, booking method and what is included; Baltimore Fishbowl coverage of the August 28, 2026 opening. Facts can drift; if something here is wrong, tell us and we’ll fix it. How we check.

Not yet confirmed

Rent.Fun publishes no prices on the Blueway pages, so the $ band is an assumption. The Blueway's two pages give different addresses for the same kiosks (901 S Bond St vs 1633 Thames St; 201 Key Hwy vs 400 Key Hwy), so check on the ground. Age limits and accessibility are not published.
