Blue Springs Marina offers lakeside fun for everyone!  Kids and adults alike love to feed the fish off the docks, from spring to fall.  Pick up a bag of ice, food, beverages, and shop the selection of bait and tackle, floats, tubes, and other water toys.  Private boaters can stop by year-round for fuel, overnight slips and their daily or annual permits.  Pontoon boats are available to rent from April 15 - Oct 15.  Dock fishing is available beginning the Tuesday after Labor Day, through the Friday before Memorial Day  (call or visit the marina for hours and dock fees).
