Welcome to Wheel Fun Rentals and thank you for visiting our website.  We are located at Bde Maka Ska, the largest lake in Minneapolis. It joins the Lake of the Isles through a long channel and is the biggest lake of five that make up the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes. Surrounded by city park land and circled by bike and walking trails, it is popular for many outdoor activities like canoeing, fishing, stand-up paddle boarding, swimming, and of course, biking.

Wheel Fun Rentals provides the perfect water ride – take a captivating journey around Minneapolis Chain of Lakes. This ride is one of the best-kept secrets in the Twin Cities. Enjoy arched bridges, canopies of trees, and the Twin Cities skyline.

We thank you for your patronage and look forward to seeing you soon

Where else can one paddle on a lake and feel like they are getting into nature and away from the city and see skyscrapers on the horizon?

A lot of options from canoes to kayaks for you to scope out one of the great landmarks of Minneapolis. It was a really great way to see the city from a new angle and get a great workout at the same time.
