Water fun without the river

Skip the guesswork. Calm ponds and lakes mean your party date is set the moment you book — rain, shine, or river levels.

Where We Deliver

Fetcher Pond, or your own private water — we show up with everything inflated and ready, you just pick the spot.

Fetcher Pond

Our go-to spot for parties. Calm, current-free water just off Pine Grove Road, minutes from downtown Steamboat.

  • Playground on site for younger siblings
  • Public restrooms & parking
  • Shallow, current-free entry
  • Unaffected by Yampa River closures

Private Lakes & Ponds

Hosting at home or on private property with water access? We'll deliver there too, anywhere in the Steamboat Springs area.

  • Backyard ponds
  • Ranch & private property lakes
  • HOA or neighborhood ponds (with access approval)

Please note: we're not currently permitted to deliver into Colorado State Parks (Steamboat Lake, Stagecoach, etc.). Fetcher Pond and private lakes are available now — ask us if you have a specific location in mind.

* Package pricing includes delivery within Steamboat Springs city limits. Locations outside city limits will incur an additional delivery charge based on distance.

Why Book With Us

Water Fun That Doesn't Depend on the River

The Yampa isn't always cooperative — low flows and closures happen most summers. A pond or lake party means your event date is never at the mercy of river conditions.

01

Flatwater, Low Stress

Calm ponds and lakes are easier for kids than moving water — no current to fight, no swiftwater concerns for parents.

02

We Handle the Gear

Same tubes, boards, and kayaks we use on the Yampa, delivered clean, inflated, and ready to go before your guests arrive.

03

You Pick the Place

Fetcher Pond is our go-to, but we'll also deliver to a private lake or pond anywhere in the Steamboat Springs area.
