Keep in mind, the lot fills up quickly I'm the summer and you can't park your truck and trailer on the road so be sure to arrive early. I wonder if they're issuing fishing permits during the shutdown. Also ... I've heard the Secretary of State is closed so I hope they won't be ticketing boat drivers who can't renew their tags. I'll have to investigate.

It's so peaceful to paddle slowly through the reedy sections and connect to the neighboring lake (Howard Lake). Between the lake itself and its adjacent creeks/rivers, you could be busy from dawn to dusk exploring every little cranny. The main lake gets pretty busy with speedboats, though, so be sure to stick to the edges in your kayak and don't bring a tippy one!

Thank you!! Let me begin with the ALL the staff at Boat City Marine were awesome in many ways!…read more On 01-10-2026 I went to the boat show very skeptical about buying a boat and had the thought process of I'm just looking today and won't find a boat yet. The staff were very professional and not forceful during the process of me looking at the boat. I spent around 2 to 3 hours sitting on the boat, walking around the boat, and talking to the staff about anything and everything. My decision to buy the boat was me liking the boat a lot and due to the setup and colors. The second reason was as mentioned above the staff were not forceful on purchasing as some dealers can be at times. I ended up adding on a fishing Bimini top and upgrading to a tandem axle trailer for longer trips down the road. The staff worked very well with me on these upgrades and made the add-on process smooth for me as a buyer. Thank you again!!!! When I noticed the boat I knew right away it was what I wanted. I loved the floor plan, the engine size, the fish finder/gps, and the trolling motor setup! As a buyer a person knows when the right boat is in front of them! The first thing that caught my attention was the paint job/colors! I didn't even look at the price tag until after telling myself "this could be my boat". The price on the boat was a very reasonable price. I priced the boat several times to ensure my calculations were on point with the discounted price they had on the boat. The boat price was truthful and the discounts they had applied were on point. The staff again was amazing in every way! The boat was what I wanted. I would recommend anyone looking for a smooth transaction of buying any type of boat to use Boat City Marine! Thank you again for helping with making my fishing adventures great! I'm a very proud owner of a 2025 Smoker Craft Adventurer 188 DC Pro!

While the water is still absolutely frigid, it's a great time to glimpse some beautiful migrating waterfowl. I've seen mergansers, loons, and all maker of unique ducks that typically only stay for a week or two in the spring and fall and right now seems to be the season for them. You can also catch the occasional baldy here. And if you're real brave and don't mind spider webs, you can kayak underneath Portage road and go from Austin Lake over to West Lake. It's super peaceful this time of year before everybody gets there ski boats out on the water.

I recommend D and R Sports, overall best customer service by far.

That's fairly crucial with our short summer season. There are a variety of accessories available for ski, I/O, or pontoon boats. They also sell everything form skateboards to wakeboards and the sales reps have a solid knowledge of not only the products but which is best suited to individual riding style. I'd recommend giving a bit more time in the fall to schedule service for winterizing and storage. They get slammed with boats and the storage space can run out quickly. They're a former Malibu dealer and now carry MB boats which I've heard are a higher quality product at a better price. They also have Cyprus Cay Pontoon boats. I can't tell you much about those other than they've won some awards and appear to be a nice ride. One thing I'd recommend to buy from this dealer are water tramps and tubes. I've found lower quality tubes can structurally fail after only a few weeks and the higher quality ones sold here have lasted for several seasons. Best deals on these are in the fall if you can wait. Great bunch of guys working here. I highly recommend this business.

They wanted to charge significantly more than they initially quoted for the fish finder work. After my complaining they reduced the labor. My biggest issue is when I got the boat home and took off the cover there was lots of fiberglass shavings at the helm and styrofoam pieces all over the place. The interior was filthy and there was lots of water in the bilge making me believe that they stored the boat in their yard with the cover off (I delivered it clean with the cover on). Not a professional operation in my opinion.
