Adventure Tips
Plan Your Fuel Ahead
Renters are responsible for fuel costs, so check local gas prices and calculate how much you’ll need for a full day on the water.
Safety Equipment Check
Confirm life jackets and safety gear are onboard before departure, especially when boating with kids or larger groups.
Weather Awareness
Monitor lake and weather conditions, as afternoon winds can pick up, creating choppier water and stronger waves.
Protect Against Sun Exposure
Bring sunscreen, hats, and UV-protective clothing; the lake’s surface reflects sunlight strongly, increasing sunburn risk.
