This isn’t the first foray into the rental business for Big Muddy Adventures. BMA has been the exclusive rental operator at the Boathouse in Forest Park since 2018. Since that time, Big Muddy Adventures at the Boathouse has replaced and updated the boat rental fleet, introduced bicycle rentals and hosted numerous special events and instructional classes including SUP Yoga, Moonlight Picnics and Float-in-Movies.
Big Muddy Adventures at Simpson Lake will initially offer boat rentals, but plans to add bicycles, along with a full calendar of special events and instructional classes in the near future. “Not only is Simpson Lake a great place to paddle a boat, but it’s also a great place to fish, picnic, and play. The Park’s trail system and amenities, along with its proximity to the Meramec River and the Meramec River Greenway, provide plenty of opportunities for people to get outside and get active, whether by foot, bike or boat” said Yawitz.
Big Muddy Adventures at Simpson Lake will be open Friday – Sunday, from 11am – 7pm. Full details, along with rental options and rates, are available online.
