Lake Front & Recreational Rentals
We have rentals available for kids and adults of all ages.
The Osthoff Resort Watersports Rentals has everything you need for fun-filled days on the lake—all in one convenient spot. With 500 feet of sandy beach along the crystal-clear waters of Elkhart Lake, you can rent a variety of watercraft, from pontoons, paddleboards, kayaks, and canoes to some unique favorites like hydro-bikes and swan or dragon paddleboats.
Whether you’re in the mood to leisurely cruise, try your hand at fishing, or paddle your way around, there’s something for every taste and budget. For a truly special experience, hop on one of our pontoon cruises and take in the stunning panoramic views of the lake from the water.
After your adventures, kick back at the Lake Deck with tasty food, refreshing drinks, and snacks. And be sure to stick around for our cozy nightly bonfires, complete with classic s’mores by the beach.
Watersports rentals and lakefront fun are open to both resort guests and the public—so everyone is welcome to dive into the good times at The Osthoff Resort!
