Most cottages come with non-powered watercraft – kayaks, a canoe, rowboat or pedalboat or stand-up paddleboard. Some have multiple boats so you can have a whole family experience. Whatever is provided, make sure you don’t go out on the water without a safety kit (baler, rope, flashlight and whistle) and a property fitting personal flotation device.
If you want to rent a motor boat or additional non-powered watercraft there are outlets and marinas across all areas. Some will allow you to rent a boat with a motor without having a boater’s card and will offer instruction – just make sure you check their website and give them a call first.
It’s great to get out on the water so stay safe and follow all safety precautions.
