If you need an easy way to transport your boat to and from your favorite paddling destination, look no further than a small kayak trailer. These days you have many options to choose from, depending on the size of your kayak, the shape of its hull, and how you want to secure it. Here, we will look at some of today's most popular small kayak trailers.

The smallest of the kayak trailers is the Malone EcoLight Kayak Trailer. This model trailer is designed to haul kayaks less than 14 feet long and can carry up to 400 pounds. And one of the easiest set-ups for one kayak is the Malone EcoLight 1-Boat Kayak Trailer Package. This package includes the Malone EcoLight Trailer with a set of bunks to haul one kayak.

Stepping up the size, Malone offers their MicroSport trailers.  This model trailer can carry a kayak up to 20 feet in length and can haul up to 800 pounds. The crossbars are 78 inches long giving you plenty of space for a kayak and a canoe, or a storage box, or even a jon boat. You can pad out the crossbars or you can just strap your gear to the crossbars, whatever is best for you.
