Bring Waterproof Footwear
Water splashes are common when boarding and disembarking the Donut Boat; water-friendly shoes keep you comfortable.

The umbrella offers some shade, but sun exposure still adds up; protect your skin during your lake cruise.
Secure Your Valuables
Even with calm water, it’s best to keep phones and keys in waterproof bags to prevent loss or damage.
Follow Local Water Safety Rules
Stay aware of boating guidelines and respect other lake users to keep the experience safe and enjoyable.
