THE BOAT

A practical, comfortable 19' pontoon

Equipped with a 40 hp Yamaha engine, stereo, two anchors and a ladder, this pontoon is configured for small groups up to eight and built for easy, social days on High Falls Flowage.

THE ROUTE

Map-guided exploration of High Falls Flowage

Renters receive a map of High Falls Flowage and a short orientation so outings are organized around local waterways, landmarks and sheltered anchor spots for fishing or a swim.

THE SERVICE

Hands-on orientation and flexible delivery

The operator runs 15-minute orientation slots beginning at 7:00 a.m. to teach boat handling and note any prior damage; delivery to other bodies of water is available for an extra fee, though customers may not transport the pontoon themselves.
