This recreation area is part of Rathbun Lake
What a neat place🤙 There were sculpture's, large game, and a great view. It's a 🚣♀️
We had a luncheon cruise with the DesMoines Ray's Society on gorgeous Sept. day. 49 were in our group. Food was delicious, service was very good, and the history presented of the Lake was interesting. Excellent choice for a group event. It was a very peaceful, upbeat day; and it was two days after Labor Day.
Great marina with everything you need. There is a general store that covers all your needs from alcohol to camping supplies to some food items. The bar and restaurant on site looks great, unfortunately we didn't stay late enough to try it (I think it opens at 5pm?).
We rented two pontoons from here on two separate occasions. Once their biggest 12 person 26 ft pontoon and another time the 8-10 person one. Both were new as of May 2021 and were awesome. Very clean, comfortable and loaded with great features like GPS fish finder, nice stereos and USB phone chargers by each seat.
We had a great time on the lake, the prices were very reasonable, the staff was very helpful and friendly. We would happily rent here again. My only recommendation is that they increase their return time to something like 6 or 7pm. Boats had to be back by 4pm which was hard to stick to and there was still lots of daylight left. Lots of personal boats seemed to go out at 3-5pm.
