Pontoon Days on Kanopolis: A 24‑Foot Float for Ten.
A day on Kanopolis Lake aboard a 24‑foot pontoon is deliberate and social: roomy bench seating, a steady ride, and the latitude to set your own course for a half‑day or a full‑day outing. The South Bay 24ft Pontoon accommodates groups up to ten and comes with a mandatory safety orientation before departure, so most of the unknowns are handled before you shove off.
