The boat ride was great. The narrative that was presented as we cruised the lake was outstanding in that we got a history of the boat as well as the Lake and the surrounding areas. It was such a pleasant time on the water.

The staff is very friendly and welcoming and the trip around the lake was fantastic. The historical lecture as you travel was fascinating and informative. We enjoyed the vistas and the pleasure of traveling in such a lovely vessel.
