Launching daily from Paradox Bay Marina at 35 Victor Herbert Road, these boats offer flexible rental periods ranging from two hours to a full day.

What makes a pontoon trip on Lake Placid unique is the calm, glassy waters surrounded by towering peaks speckled with conifer forests. As you glide past the shoreline, you’ll notice spruce and fir trees bending towards the lake, and in the distance, the Whiteface Mountain summit casts its iconic shadow. The peaceful waters are ideal for swimming, sunbathing on the spacious deck, or casting a line if fishing is on your wish list. This area has a rich history as a two-time Winter Olympics host city, and from the water, you can admire quaint mountain lodges and the village’s charming waterfront.
With its versatility and accessibility, the Bennington 20’ is a standout rental for visitors craving a unique, hands-on outdoor water experience in the Adirondacks.
