Why We Love Fall boating
Labor Day is just the beginning of the best days of boating season. Its time to make boating a part of your fall tradition! Extend your boating season and lets create more memories on the water.
Imagine yourself sitting on your boat or pontoon, feet up, taking in the breathtaking views of the fall colors and glass like water while sipping on a pumpkin spiced latte .. smelling the aroma.
Here’s a few of our favorite reasons why we love Fall boating ...
Less Crowded
Its amazing how many people don’t think about boating into the Fall. As soon as school begins boat owners think its time to get the boat in storage and forget about lake life until next season. All this means is that the lake is all yours! Remember the lines at the fuel dock, circling dockside restaurants looking for a space, the busy launch ramps? Not anymore, the lake is all yours.
Sterngating
The food and party atmosphere of tailgating before the big game is fun for everyone. Still want to spend time on the water but don’t want to miss the big game? A parking lot is not the only place to tailgate, an even better option is aboard your boat. It will change the way you look at gameday.
Boat Camping
Escape the crowded campgrounds and get the best views around. All you need is a place to cruise, anchor out and pitch a tent onboard if your boat is large enough. If not, you can adapt by pitching the tent ashore. Designated camping areas in state and national parks and recreation areas are options on larger bodies of water. There are many places along the Mississippi River in MN and WI that are open to the public and available for camping!
Fall Fishing
Fall is one of the finest times for fishing. The fish are migrating and feeding in preparation for winter. There are several tournaments that are near River Valley Marine stores you can participate in. Your local River Valley Marine is a great resource for local fishing expertise, fishing gear and tournament information in the area.
Quality Time
Now that school has started, whether the kids are in the classroom or at home completing distance learning lessons. Life has been chaotic lately and you probably had more time to boat during the summer than in the fall. But the time you do find in this fall season will be more beloved as you finally get to do what you love and spend some time with the family. It suddenly becomes more special.
