The Waters
We run the lakes around Phillips, in Price County, one of the quieter corners of the Wisconsin Northwoods. Some are made for cruising and swimming. Some are best left to the fishing. Our season runs August 1 through October 15, 2026, and the calendar is open now.
We deliver and pick up for $80 flat, to lakes within 30 miles of Phillips. If the lake you have in mind isn't below, ask us first and we'll tell you whether we can get a boat there. Most people looking at a pontoon rental in Phillips, WI have already settled on the boat. The lake is the part they call us about. Here's what to know about each.
Not to scale. The actual chain is more generous on the south end and a bit more winding through the middle.
Duroy
350 acres and 18 feet deep, stumpy and weedy, best left to the anglers. Musky, walleye, northern pike, both bass, and panfish all hold here.
