Wilson Lake Alabama Jet Ski Rentals
Jet skiing on Wilson Lake means big water, bluffs and long creek arms to explore. Most of our jet ski rentals can pull a tube, depending on the model, and guided rides are available. See our jet ski models to pick your ride.
Pontoons, Marinas and Boat Service
Marinas and lakeside restaurants around the Shoals make it easy to stop for fuel and food. We don't rent pontoons or service boats, but we offer surf boats, jet skis and water toys to go with your pontoon day or lake house stay.
The Shoals
Wilson Dam, finished in the 1920s, is one of TVA’s landmark dams, and the Shoals are famous for their music history. Joe Wheeler State Park sits near Wheeler Dam at the upper end of the lake.
Fishing Wilson Lake
Wilson Lake is known for trophy smallmouth bass, along with largemouth bass, crappie and big catfish.

Good to Know Before You Go
- Alabama boating rules: Alabama requires a vessel license to drive any motorized boat or jet ski, and no one under 12 may drive one. Drivers 12 and 13 need a license and a licensed adult 21 or older on board, and visitors 14 and older from other states can boat up to 45 days a year without an Alabama license. Our rental drivers must be 18 or older.
- Life jackets: everyone on a jet ski and anyone being towed must wear a life jacket, and so should young children on a moving boat.
- Watch for barges: Wilson Lake is part of the Tennessee River navigation channel, so give tows and barges plenty of room.
- Book early: summer weekends and holidays fill up fast.
