Lake McLean sits within Susan River as a compact, striking freshwater basin—19 acres of open water where riders and small boaters can spend the better part of a day moving at their own pace. The offering is simple: hire the lake with your own craft and take advantage of extended on‑water time to explore, practice skills, or simply enjoy the easy freedom of a contained, freshwater setting.

THE LAKE

A 19‑Acre Freshwater Playground

Lake McLean is a concentrated freshwater oasis—19 acres that make for accessible, varied water for jet‑skiing or small‑boat cruising without the scale or swell of open ocean.

THE OFFER

Hire the Lake with Your Own Craft

The operator allows guests to hire the lake using their own jet skis or boats, charged by the hour—an economy for those who bring their gear and want extended, self‑directed time on the water.

THE TIMING

Spend the Day on Your Terms

Bookings can extend for substantial stretches—up to eight hours—giving riders a full‑day feel even within a compact freshwater setting.

What the day feels like

What Being on Lake McLean Feels Like

This is a self‑directed water day: you arrive with your craft, take possession of a contained 19‑acre freshwater lake, and set the rhythm—short bursts of speed, long laps around the perimeter, breaks along the shore—over a period that can stretch up to eight hours. The offering emphasizes personal pacing and maximum on‑water time rather than guided activity.
