What is the boat rental costs? Recommendations or oppinions??

Renee Geen | Oct 7, 2018
David Purvee | Oct 7, 2018

I have my own boat so I'm not sure on costs I know the state park had fishing boats as mentioned plus a few deck boats for rent as well. I highly recommend renting a boat and getting out there, there is no better way to see and enjoy the islands than on your own boat. One word of caution, the state park is right next to the border line between USA and Canada... if you cross the line in your boat, you are required to have a passport or enhanced license on you if you're over 12 years old. You do not have to report to customs as long as you don't dock, but you must have the id on you if you're pulled over and asked for it. To be clear, you don't need to cross the border line, just be aware of where it is if you don't have a passport as the line is very close to the marina there. Also, I know you are encouraged to make a reservation ahead of time. Just call the marina. One thought... if new or unsure of handling a boat, this may not be best place to start. Waters here can be tricky!

Closing for season?

Deborah Lynch | Oct 7, 2017
Joe Hamm | Oct 7, 2017

We were there two weeks ago and only one section of the campground was still open. Only a small sign posted at the entrance. Most things were closed for the season, bit thankfully the laundry room was still open. Call before you go because they are not open all year for camping.

We turned around at the toll booth because one of your staff members was a rude and unpleasant person. I have never been so displeased with a worker in my entire life. She made us not want to be there. My only regret is not getting her name.

Brianne Conaway | Oct 6, 2020
William Cadwallader | Oct 6, 2020

Is that the booth going into the park or the booth going over the bridge?

Can you get cell service here? I read previous reviews about no wifi, but will you be able to make phone calls and send text messages on your phone?

Katie Overmyer | Oct 7, 2019
Johnny Crossley | Oct 7, 2019

Your phone will most definitely have service but you want to make sure you're not beaming your signal off of the cell towers in Canada. You will get charged. Be sure to go in your settings and turn off "data roaming" if you do not have international service included in your phone plan. You should have service in most of the state park. I don't always get internet, especially along the water, but I never have trouble making calls. Texts may lag when they are sent or received.
