What the day feels like

How the four-day rental feels

The experience is straightforward and low-friction: pick up a compact fishing boat, load your gear and provisions, and spend multiple days working the lake at your own pace. The boats are set up for angling and short excursions rather than long-range cruising; you return to the launch no later than 5 p.m. on day four.
