BOAT RENTALS
We suggest reserving pontoon boat rentals early from Almond Boat & RV Park; they will sell out on peak days. There is parking available at the marina, so you can easily load guests who do not want to use the stairs to the dock at the home or to load heavier items at the marina and onto the boat. Overnight boat trailer parking is $5/day.
