A 22' Palm Beach Pontoon on the Au Sable: Slow the Day Down on 60‑Some Lakes.
The Au Sable Valley is water-rich and quietly generous: a web of more than sixty lakes threaded with the Au Sable itself. Rollway Resort makes a 22' Palm Beach pontoon available to visitors and neighbors alike, a stable platform for fishing, sunbathing, swimming and easy cruising. Rentals come ready to go—with delivery within a 30‑mile radius, the first ten gallons of gas supplied, and personalized instruction on request—so you can spend more time on the water and less time fussing with logistics.

Access to the Au Sable Valley’s sixty‑some lakes
Renters can take pontoons onto any of the roughly sixty lakes around Rollway Resort—or, if you prefer, onto stretches of the Au Sable River—opening a range of swim spots, fishing haunts, and slow cruising corridors.

What the day feels like
What a day on the pontoon feels like
The rhythm is simple: a short handover or delivery from Rollway Resort, a slow run across a mirrorlike lake or a gentle drift along the Au Sable, and long pockets of lounging, line‑casting, and dives off the bow. The rental arrives fueled with ten gallons so you can push off quickly; when the sun drops, pickup is handled by the operator unless you’ve arranged otherwise.
