Frequently Asked Questions

What's included with a rental at Elk Creek Resort and Marina?

Rentals from Elk Creek Resort and Marina include life jackets, fuel, cooler storage, fishing gear, a bimini top, a sunshade, comfortable seating, a Bluetooth stereo, GPS navigation and on-site parking. Amenities vary by boat and by season, so confirm what comes with the boat you book.

How old do you have to be to rent a boat in Oklahoma?

For a motorboat with more than 10 horsepower, age 16 is the minimum for operation without the youth supervision rule, and the same threshold applies to a personal watercraft. Under Oklahoma’s Kyle Williams Boating Safety Education Act, operators ages 12 through 15 must complete approved boating safety education and carry their card. For a motorboat, a competent adult age 18 or older must be aboard and positioned to take immediate control. Personal watercraft operators ages 12 through 15 need visual supervision by a competent adult age 18 or older within 500 yards. The rental operator sets its own minimum, so confirm it when booking.

Do you need a boating license in Oklahoma?

Oklahoma does not require a boating license for most recreational operators; its rule is age based, not tied to a birth date. Operators ages 12 through 15 must carry a boater education card to run a motorboat over 10 horsepower, a sailboat 16 feet or longer, or any personal watercraft. They also need adult supervision as specified by the state. Rental customers are not separately exempt, so these rules still apply to rentals. Listed exemptions include qualifying nonresidents, sanctioned event participants, and supervised personal watercraft operation in a no wake zone. The Department of Public Safety may issue a 30 day temporary card and administers the program through the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

In the southeast, forested Broken Bow Lake has exceptionally clear water for boating and scuba diving, while the Lower Mountain Fork River suits canoe and kayak trips. Lake Murray provides watersports amid the south central Arbuckle foothills, and Lake Thunderbird near Norman offers convenient central Oklahoma access with marinas and multiple boat ramps.
