Boat & Watercraft Rentals

Next step: we’ll expand rentals (pontoons, kayaks, paddleboards) lake-wide and add them here.

If you want, I’ll add 20–40 rental listings next (by arm of the lake), with direct booking links where available.

Fishing Guides & Charters

Next step: we’ll build a dedicated “Guides & Charters” set (stripers, crappie, bass) with half/full day options.

If you prefer, we can make this a separate page and link it here (better SEO + cleaner directory).

Want a lake-life shortlist (golf + boating + best areas)?

Tell us your routine (boating frequency, preferred marina side, golf interest, quiet vs social, budget), and we’ll recommend the best-fit areas in SLV, McCormick, and Lincolnton—plus the boating resources you’ll actually use.
