Route Schematic
Typical route schematic
A straightforward arc: pickup or delivery, open‑water time on a chosen lake or the Au Sable, then return for pickup.
Rollway Resort — Handover or Delivery
The operator coordinates delivery to your chosen launch within a 30‑mile radius or arranges pickup at the resort; the boat arrives with the first ten gallons of gas and any requested instruction.
Lake Time — Choose from 60‑Some Lakes
Cruise, fish, swim or sunbathe across any of the area’s lakes—use the pontoon as a base for the day’s activities.
Au Sable River Option
If you’re staying on or near the river, the pontoon can also be used on stretches of the Au Sable for a different, more ribbon‑like boating experience.
Confirm delivery and pickup times when you book: rentals end between 5pm and 8pm on the last day (full‑day rentals return the same day), and any extra fuel beyond the initial ten gallons is the renter’s responsibility.
