Want to explore Lake Arrowhead by boat? This guide covers how to rent kayaks, pontoons, and more—even if you're not a local. Get tips, rental links, and everything you need for the perfect day on the water.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned after years of escaping to the mountains, it’s this: Lake Arrowhead is best experienced by boat.
Whether you're sipping coffee as the morning mist rolls over the lake or catching golden hour reflections on a late afternoon cruise, there’s something magical about being on the water—not just near it.
And guess what? It’s easier than you think.
👉 Here’s our full guide to boat rentals in Lake Arrowhead — including how to book, where to go, and some important rules you should know before heading out.
💡 Our Favorite Ways to Spend a Day on the Lake:
• Morning paddleboarding when the water is glassy and calm
• Pontoon cruising with snacks, music, and your favorite people
• Dock-and-dine at one of the lakeside spots (we’re happy to share our top picks!)
• Kid-friendly adventures like fishing or spotting ducks and geese
And while Lake Arrowhead is a private lake, there are still ways to get on the water — especially if you plan ahead. You just need the right info, which we’ve pulled together for you in one place:
