To keep Lake Five clean, peaceful, and enjoyable for everyone, we offer a full lineup of resort-provided watercraft for your use. Limiting the lake to our boats helps protect the water quality and preserve the natural beauty of the lake for generations to come. For the same reason, gas motors and outside personal watercraft are not permitted on Lake Five.

Guests are welcome to bring their own boats to enjoy on nearby Lake Six, where Five Lakes Resort owns shoreline space for convenient overnight boat storage. To help safeguard our lakes, outside water toys such as lily pads or water mats are not allowed. These thoughtful guidelines help ensure a safe, serene, and memorable lake experience for all.
