A Full Day on Schroon Lake: Eight Hours Aboard 60‑HP Pontoons.
Schroon Lake opens like a private coast for a day: broad water, islands and long sightlines broken only by a pontoon’s wake. The Lodge at Schroon Lake offers 60‑horsepower pontoons designed for comfort — roomy seating and a smooth, stable ride — built for families, couples, or groups who want to cruise, swim, or simply soak up the sun across an eight‑hour rental.

Eight Hours to Cruise, Swim and Soak Up the Sun

Safety and Rental Requirements You Must Meet
Renters must comply with the operator’s safety protocol: watch the required boating‑safety video and pass the assessment or carry a valid New York State Boating Safety Certificate; other rules cover passenger limits, age minimums, and the refundable damage deposit.
What the day feels like
What an Eight‑Hour Pontoon Day Feels Like
You board at the lodge’s waterfront, settle into roomy seats, and spend the day alternating between a relaxed cruise, anchored swims, and stretches of sunbathing. The pontoons’ stability and 60 HP power make maneuvers predictable; fuel is included in the rental so the day stays focused on being on the water rather than tending logistics.
