What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

The experience is compact and hands-on: a brief, operator-led orientation, a plotted route on a provided map of High Falls Flowage, and a day of angling from a straightforward 16' Alumacraft with a fish finder and two pedestal seats — all tailored for adult renters and their canine companions.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Single anglers and small groupsThe boat carries up to four people and is ideal for a small party seeking a straightforward fishing platform rather than a large cruising craft.
2
Pet ownersPets are allowed aboard, so anglers traveling with a well-behaved dog can include them on the outing.
3
Adult rentersRenters must be age 21 or older to rent this boat; the policy makes it a fit for adult anglers rather than teenage or family drivers.
4
Novice operatorsBeginners can rent, but anyone born on or after January 1, 1989 may be required to complete a Wisconsin DNR‑accepted boating safety course to legally operate a motorized boat.
