Paddle Boarding!
Super simple way to add more excitement to your day at the lake! Super easy to travel with and use! I learned how to paddleboard by using one of these and have had multiple people ask me where I purchased it from!
ROC Paddle Boards
Sometimes the sun is beating down and you have no urge to manually inflate a board…which is fine! This has changed my life and made it so much easier (and faster!) to have my board ready for a day on the water.

If you have no need to carry the entire bag, buy one of these! That way you can inflate the board, strap it up with the paddle, and be ready to roll!
DICK'S Sporting Goods

Life Jackets, Vests and PFDs
Dock Necessities
While the sound of water can be comforting, I need some music! These Bose speakers are waterproof, portable, have great battery life, and LOUD!

Round Pool Float With Mesh Center
I was not blessed with tanning genes. I unfortunately burn to a crisp with tanning oil or get no color with sunscreen. `This sunscreen/tan combo is the best thing out there for us girlies that want some sun but don't want to look like a crispy tomato...

Lake Wear!
I love Fabletics swimsuits! They are slightly more expensive, but they are great quality. My suits that I've purchased from here have lastest for 4+ years!
Women's Swimwear & Bathing Suits
Hands down, these are the best summer shoes! Chacos are great for walking in rough terrain and also getting wet. I ear these down to the dock and have zero issues with walking the trails.
DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse
Bucket hats are the best lake hats. I always end up burning my scalp unless I have a hat on. Bucket hats are smaller but still cover your head, ears, and neck. Plus, most of these are made from a material that dries in less than 20 minutes.
