    Both times we rented a pontoon boat for the day and had a blast on beautiful Fontana Lake.

My boat is running fantastic and I couldn't be happier with the repair or the price. The owner, Chris, was great too. I couldn't be there at closing to get my boat for the weekend so they let me pay over the phone and put my boat in a secure location for late pickup. Highly recommended!!

    I purchased a used motor for $2000 at Mountain Lakes Marine. They installed it in 2021, ran great…read moreon Muffs, took it to the lake it would not idle or go over 1000 RPM. I broke my back, so the boat sat at MLM, after I'm well enough took it to the lake 4 times and put it right back on the trailer, same thing would not Idle would not go over 1000 RPM. By this time it is August 2022 and tell them to keep it till they had time to really look at it over the winter, July 2023 called and said it was ready 11 months later. Took it Straight to the lake, would not Idle, will not go over $1000 RPM and put it right back on the trailer. After Three years I've decided MLM is not going to this motor and I'm chalking this one up to a $2000 mistake. Regrets Bill. Update I repaired the motor MLM sold me, the Timing base was the wrong part number and hand ground to make fit, the stator was the wrong part and the power pack was the wrong part. After $687 worth of new and correct parts, the engine finally runs right. These error there no way in the past 3 years that Chris did not know about them, but I'm sure he has enough business that it means nothing to him to screw over someone and loose them as a customer. I know you take risk when buying used and I would not have felt bad if Chris had been straight with me from the start but instead he chose to be deceptive and of poor personal character. Here is one of the 3 wrong parts that was on the motor. Timing Base around a $250 part In all it has taken $687 worth of new parts to make the $2000 motor MLM run. Timing base on the motor had been hand ground to make fit.

Even though we got there super early, because of the holiday, there was a HUGE line getting into Devils Fork Park with the park rangers checking in with every vehicle - the rangers were turning away everyone without a parking reservation. I called Eclectic Sun and the nice lady on the phone said to show them our kayak reservation confirmation and that she would have a parking spot saved for us. Because we were in line for 1+ hours, we didn't get in until way after our reservation time but everyone was super nice and adjusted the time for us. The guys at the life jacket rental and down by the water helping people get in and out of their kayaks were also all very nice. All kayaks they had seemed to be in great shape, we had no problem using ours. Once you're out in the water, you can just dock it at any beach area you find around the lake (even though it was a busy day at the lake, there are so many beaches, you can easily find an empty one). We will definitely come back and rent one out again!

Affordable and bring your bathing suits if you want to swim! Sidenote: parking is convenient if your their early and there's a separate charge for that. $8 per person! Sidenote 2: the water is a beautiful turquoise.... Close to the color of the water in the Caribbean!

    The price of the reservations to do water rafting is extremely affordable for the fun experience…read moreyou get. We had a blast. The staff are amazing! The customer care was just that...caring! We had someone who last minute could not come and we planned on just eating the cost of their reservation as it was considered a same day cancel, we had no expectations at all. As we checked in, without a prompt to credit us, the check-in lady said "well we don't usually do refunds for same day cancels but how abt I apply that reservation fee towards a picture package and water shoe rentals?" We were pleasantly shocked! That was above and beyond customer care and I have worked in the customer service industry for years! The reservations included your PFDs and a warm water shirt if you chose to wear one. The training was informative and light hearted. No scare tactics just some good ole jokes and fun while learning to stay safe out on the water. Our tour guide, James, was funny, full of fun facts, and knew how to keep us safe but laughing the entire trip down the river. If you're on the fence about taking this adventure...don't be! NOC has got you covered!

    absolutely loved this place. Very nice, rooms were clean and neat, guides were very knowledgeable…read more I did enjoy the rafting more so than the zip lines, but that's just a personal preference. I would advise if youre doing both to go rafting in the afternoon and zip lining in the morning. The river water is cold and personally would be too cold for a morning trip

As a teen, I would tube down this river so I offered this as an option to the man and he agreed. Given that he's a larger man, tubing was out, but a single person kayak, called a ducky, would be fine. I opted for the same thing. It was a touch more expensive vs opting for "Extreme tubing" but it was a lot more fun. We both got kitted out in our life vest, got our paddles and into the van and were driven to the Dillsboro drop off site, we were given pointers of where to go and what to look out for. The staff was great! The water was cool but not terribly cold, the river wasn't crowded for the height of summer and we really enjoyed ourselves. It was about 2 hours in the water from the time we put in until we took out. Yes, we did get stuck on a few rocks but we managed to get off of them without dumping ourselves into the drink. We certainly got an upper body workout from using our paddles!

We totally recommend this place. The water was a little low. But still it was enough for us to relax and float. And have a little fun at the drops. It took about 2 hrs. To go down the river. And at the stopping point, we didn't have to wait. Some one was there waiting for us to drive us back to our car. $15.00 per person for tubing.
