Buffalo Boat Rentals
City of Buffalo Boat Rentals is currently open with seasonal hours and will open in June after school is out for the summer. Currently, we are taking reservations for the 2023 boating season through our on-line reservations system. Click on Boat & Equipment Rentals on the to menu bar to access our boat rental information page.
We have a major change for the 2023 season. Due to the Hwy 25 Construction Project we will not be opening our Sturges Park location on Buffalo Lake in 2023. Due to the Hwy 25 and Sturges Park boat landing parking lot closures there are not any parking lots near our rental location available for customers who would normally rent a boat from this location.
The Parks & Recreation Department will be moving the pontoon that has normally been located on Buffalo Lake to Griffing Park on Lake Pulaski for the 2023 boating season so we will still have (2) pontoon boats available for rent this summer.
If you have general questions regarding the City of Buffalo Boat Rentals please contact the Parks & Recreation Department via phone or email.
