Why we send you here

We don't rent boats — they do

It's the call we get more than any other: “Do you have a boat we can rent?” We don't keep a rental fleet at Greenhorn. Sierra Pontoons does — and they're right across the water.

Sierra Pontoon Rentals is a small, family-run outfit based at Long Ravine. Their boats sit in the slips at the marina, so there's no trailering, no launching, no backing down a ramp — you park, walk the gangway, load up and go.

Rollins Lake gives you 26 miles of shoreline and no shortage of quiet coves to drop anchor, swim and let the day get away from you. Birthdays, family reunions, wedding parties, or a Tuesday that needed rescuing — that's what these boats are for.

Gas note: every boat leaves full and gets topped off on return, so you only pay for what you use — fuel is $8/gallon from the NID marina. Towing a tube burns a lot more than cruising.

No boating license required

They provide the boat and the driver. You bring your drink of choice, a few snacks, and absolutely nothing else.

Ninety minutes on Rollins Lake as the light goes gold, leaving from the Long Ravine Marina at 6:15pm. It's the easiest thing on this whole page — no rules to learn, no deposit, no experience needed. Just show up and sit down.
