An Amazing Experience

Took the family out on a pontoon for the afternoon and had an amazing time. The kids loved every minute of it and had the greatest 4 hours of their summer. The boat was beautiful and clean and a pleasure to ride, and the lake is absolutely spectacular. The staff was amazing as well and super friendly and courteous. They made sure we were safe but and able to have a wonderful day out on the water. My kids can’t wait to go again next year.
