About us

Pontoon, Floating Cabin
& Slip Rentals!

Jay’s Boat Dock on Boone Lake in Tennessee was opened in 1952 by Jay McCracken. Jay was not a fisherman nor could he swim. His love of boats and people helped him recognize the need for a family-friendly atmosphere catering to the needs of folks who enjoy all different aspects of lake life.
