Elk City Lake Boat and Jet Ski Rentals

Elk City Lake is a 4,400-acre reservoir in Montgomery County in southeast Kansas, just northwest of Independence. Wooded hills, rocky bluffs and open water make it a favorite summer lake in southeast Kansas. Invert Sports offers Elk City Lake boat rentals, jet ski rentals, water toys and private boat charters, ready and waiting at the lake.

Elk City Lake Boat Rentals

Elk City Lake’s open water is great for tubing, skiing and cruising, and calm mornings are perfect for wakesurfing. Our Elk City Lake boat rentals include:

• MasterCraft wakesurf and wakeboard boats for family and friends
• Ski boat rentals for water skiing, slalom and tubing

Good to Know Before You Go

• Kansas boating rules: anyone born on or after January 1, 1989 who is under 21 needs an approved boater education certificate to drive a boat or jet ski, and no one under 12 may drive without direct adult supervision. Jet skis can't be ridden between sunset and sunrise, and our rental drivers must be 18 or older.
• Life jackets: everyone on a jet ski must wear a life jacket, and children 12 and under must wear one at all times on a boat or while being towed.
• Wind and open water: Kansas lakes can get windy in the afternoon, so watch for whitecaps and head for a sheltered cove if the wind picks up.
• Book early: summer weekends and holidays fill up fast.
