Kayak Rack Rentals

Scarborough Trails

When you tour this great town of Scarborough by foot or bicycle, we hope you enjoy the scenery, the rocky coast, the beaches, the park system, and most of all, the wonderful trail system that we are creating for your enjoyment.

For maps and more information, visit the trails section on our website.

Tired of lugging your kayak to and from the beach? We have 16 kayak rack spaces at the Pine Point Co-Op, 8 spaces at Ferry Beach, 8 spaces at Ferry and 8 spaces at Clay Pitts boat launch.

Due to high demand and limited amount of spaces, a lottery system is used to determine who gets stickers each year.
