• Wisconsin Boat Rental Course - A course for Wisconsin residents and visitors who do not already possess a valid boating education certificate, but who wish to rent a boat or personal watercraft (PWC) to operate on Wisconsin waters. The course covers all the information you'll need to know to receive your temporary boating certificate.

We have been informed that the No Wake navigation buoys at the entrance to Hinton Bay require additional information to be compliant with regulations.  We are working diligently to complete the required documents to secure compliance.  We do not yet have an anticipated date for receiving our compliance certification.  Therefore, the Hinton Bay entrance No Wake navigation buoys are not in place as they were last year.  Please be courteous and pass though that area at no wake speed as if the buoys are in place and in effect. 

As always, please be courteous out on the lake by giving wide berth to other vessels, non-motorized craft, swimmers, docks, and the shoreline.  Also be considerate of your wake by staying clear of the shoreline and other vessels when you are producing a large wake.  Thank you.
