BLUE MARSH LAKE INFORMATION 

Note: We do not recommend taking rental watercraft here on weekends and holidays, as it gets extremely full to the point of being dangerous on the water, and launch ramp wait times can be extensive.

Looking for a Better Experience? While Blue Marsh is closer to Lancaster, the heavy congestion and strict speed zones mean you spend more time idling than riding.
If you are ready to commit to an incredible day on the open water, we highly recommend heading out to Raystown Lake.
Our pickup lot in McConnellsburg, PA is roughly 2 to 2.5 hours from Lancaster, depending on whether you take the PA Turnpike or route through the highways. We sit right along your direct path out west—making us the perfect halfway checkpoint to stretch your legs, hitch up your jet ski or boat rental, and head straight to the big water!

This is our local lake for Kayaks, Paddleboards, Canoes, and Fishing Boats.

JETSKI & POWER BOAT RENTALS
    A BOATING SAFETY CERTIFICATE  is required to operate a jetski in Pa. and most other states. A certificate is also required for any person born on or after Jan. 1, 1982, to operate a motor boat in excess of 25 HP in Pa. For this reason, and so you understand how to operate a jetski or a Power Boat safely, we also require a safety certificate to be photocopied for each jetski or Power Boat rental. If you do not have a certificate, it is quite easy to obtain one online. Please click on one of the following links: www.ilearntoboat.com/pennsylvania (shorter course ($69.95), or www.Boaterexam.com/USA/Pennsylvania ($49.95)
, or     www.boat-ed.com/Pennsylvania ($54.95). All the study material is on the site.  As soon as you pass the test, you will be able to print a temporary certificate, which is valid immediately. The cost is listed beside each link above. This certificate does not expire, and it is honored in other states as well. Our customers tell us it takes 2-3 hours for the ilearntoboat course and 4-6 hours for the other 2 courses online. We are also hearing from our customers that they prefrred courses are 1st choice; ilearntoboat, second choice; boat-ed and third choice; boaterexam. So if you think you may have an interest in renting a jetski or Power Boat now or in the future, please go ahead and take your test!!!  REMEMBER, you, and only you, are responsible for learning and obeying the boating laws of the state you are operating in. It is easy to Google state boating laws. Click HERE for Pa Boating Regulations.


Toll Roads (EZ Pass, Toll By Plate)

It is your responsibility to put the trailer plate on your EZ Pass for the duration of your rental. This can be done through www.paturnpike.com/e-zpass or by calling 877-736-6727.


If you do not have EZ Pass you can still add the trailer plate to your Toll By Plate account for the duration of your rental. This can be done through www.paturnpike.com/e-zpass or by calling 877-736-6727. 

If you do nothing, it is considered a toll violation and substantial fees will be added to the toll. When we receive the violation, we will charge a $5 handling fee to your card and send it back to the toll agency. They will then send it to you with all additional fees attached.
