We believe that your time on the lake should be easy, so boats will be loaded and ready. Our dockhands are available to help you or your family members hop in, if you'd like. Worried about tipping? Our inventory is beginner-friendly, so novices are safe and welcome. Not sure which craft is your style? Rent by the hour and trade out as much as you'd like. Just check your final boat back in to the dock when your time is up. Return to the store for a post-trip snack, meal, or shopping spree. Custer State Park's picturesque lakes await. ## Boat Rental Details **Fist-come, first-served.** Rental hours follow the Lodge store hours throughout the season.
