Pontoon Boat Rentals at Shaver Lake Power Center

Shaver Lake, California, tucked high in the Sierra National Forest, offers a freshwater playground framed by rugged granite ridges and towering pines. At 42157 Tollhouse Rd, Shaver Lake Power Center stands as a gateway to an immersive lake experience with its standout offering: the 25' Sun Tracker Party Barge. This twelve-passenger pontoon combines casual comfort with the freedom to cruise the lake’s expansive waters at your own pace.

The Sun Tracker’s 60 HP engine propels you across the surface of Shaver Lake, where clarity meets cool mountain air. Unlike high-speed thrill rides, this pontoon invites relaxed social outings—family gatherings, fishing afternoons, or leisurely swims from secluded sandy shores only accessible by boat. With carpeted floors and a half bimini for sun protection, it blends practical design with user-friendly features, though renters should note the absence of a ladder, stereo system, or anchors, perfect for guests who prefer to bring their own gear and music.

Shaver Lake itself is notable for its granite basin carved by glaciers, surrounded by the Sierra Nevada’s mixed conifer forests. It’s a regional magnet for anglers chasing trout, hikers lining nearby trails like the Mineral King Basin, and paddlers navigating quiet coves. The Power Center is one of the few local providers allowing multi-day rentals, offering the flexibility to chart your own course and fully digest the lake’s scenic variety.

The rental process requires renters to be at least 18 years old with a valid license and includes a 48-hour cancellation policy. Gas is an additional cost and boats must be returned fueled. The operation is deeply woven into the community fabric, supporting responsible recreation with an emphasis on stewardship.

With summer preparations underway, these pontoons offer a distinctive way to experience Shaver Lake’s calm waters and forested backdrop, elevating any visit with a blend of relaxation and adventure.
