If you are looking for the excitement of having a fish on the line...
...the relaxation of a quiet day by the lake...
...a chance to enjoy quality time with family and friends...
Your adventure begins here.

Boating Saftey
With common sense, you can have fun and still be a responsible boater.
- Wear your life jacket. Always.
- Make sure your boat has ALL required safety equipment.
- Avoid alcohol while boating. Alcohol use affects judgment, vision, balance, and coordination. Reports suggest that alcohol was a contributing factor in about one in five boating fatalities.
- Complete an approved boating safety course. You may save on your boat insurance, and you most certainly will be a more knowledgable operator for it.
- Know the rules. They were developed for your safety, and the safety of those around you.
- Don't overload. Know the capacity of your boat and stay within those limits.
- Boat with a partner, and let family or friends know of your boating plans.
- Check the weather forecast.
