Adventure Tips
Check Weather Before Heading Out
Wind can pick up on the reservoir quickly—always confirm conditions and avoid the water during gusty or stormy weather.
Wear a Personal Flotation Device
All renters should wear a PFD at all times; they're provided with rentals but bringing your own ensures a proper fit.
Pack Water and Sun Protection
Bring plenty of water and sunscreen—exposure on open water can be stronger than expected, even on overcast days.
Arrive Early for Best Rental Options
Weekends and holidays get busy; early arrival secures your preferred boat type and maximizes daylight on the reservoir.
