Testimonials
The employees were very good to us. We had a slip for 3 nights. They all were helpful with helping tie off the boat everyone we came in. One saw us looking at a not very good map of the lake. He brought us out a much better map and even showed us hazards to watch for. When I do this trip again I will be at this marina. Thank you to all the employees!
William Burgess
It has been a while but I am confident that the boats are still well kept and incredibly affordable as they were just a few years ago. We would bring our own boat and rent an additional boat for our travel companions. Whether a large pontoon or a simple fishing boat, The selection is clean, safe, and affordable. The marina staff is always so attentive and helpful.

We’ve been slip renters at Lithia Springs Marina for 6 years and loved every minute of it. It is hands down the best marina on the lake, professionally managed with great service. We have new friends on all of the docks. Good people everywhere! Looking forward to the new season.
Kevin Walker
My family and friends spent a beautiful day on the lake. We had 11 people on the boat and including gas for 5 hours spent around $140 (on a work day, but very well priced!) parking is right by the marina and on/off boarding is quick, easy, and painless. I recommend this place and will likely be back!
