Adventure Tips

Bring sunscreen and shade gear

Partial Bimini tops offer some sun protection, but packing sunscreen and hats will help keep you comfortable during long hours on the lake.

Check weather forecasts before departure

Cayuga Lake Boat Rentals may cancel trips for severe weather, so staying informed helps you plan safe outings and reschedules if needed.

Plan stops at public docks and parks

Long Point State Park and other lakeside public places offer scenic rest points and restroom access during your trip.

Bring snacks and beverages aboard

The pontoons lack onboard bathrooms or kitchen facilities, so packing enough food and water is vital for comfort throughout the day.
