Available rental options include canoes, single and double kayaks, Sunfish sailboats, 14', 16', and 20' aluminum boats, and 14', 20', and 24' pontoon boats.
The business also runs the Adirondack Boat Tour, a two-hour guided cruise that visits Blue Mountain, Eagle, and Utowana lakes. The tour features narration focused on late-1800s history, including historic camps, workers, and conservation stories, and is presented by narrators who guide guests through local heritage.
For rentals, each booking provides the craft and the equipment necessary for a full day on the water, supporting independent exploration of the lake. Rental hours are consistent across offerings: 9 am to 5 pm. Pricing structure and reservations are handled directly by the livery at the time of booking. The livery’s location on Blue Mountain Lake places it within the region commonly visited by paddlers and sightseers exploring the central Adirondacks.
