How it Works
Reserve a boat online or at the Outfitters front window. After signing your waiver, recreation attendants will help you get your life jacket, paddle and boat. They will also get you out on the water.
Reminder: While we will have recreation attendants monitoring the water, there will be no lifeguard on duty. Guests are reminded to boat/paddleboard at their own risk. Children under 16 must have parental supervision to use the watercraft.
